I saw banners around the zoo saying that there is an expansion in progress for an African section, which will bring in giraffes and lions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They did have plenty of other cats, which I all love, including cougars, a serval, a sand cat (which ended up being my favorite), jaguars and a snow leopard. The leopard was either out of his exhibit or hiding well when we checked out its area, but I am sure I will be back in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The animals that I haven&#8217;t seen before included the sand cat, and fennec foxes, which also became another favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We walked around and saw the whole zoo in about two hours. I recommend it to anyone who visits the Chattanooga area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/48746066897\/in\/album-72157710874999087\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48746066897_0be353a373_c.jpg?resize=800%2C534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chattanooga Zoo6\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/48746064337\/in\/album-72157710874999087\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48746064337_ed84f2864c_c.jpg?resize=800%2C534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chattanooga Zoo14\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/48746068197\/in\/album-72157710874999087\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48746068197_6ca4067b47_c.jpg?resize=800%2C534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chattanooga Zoo1\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/48746060562\/in\/album-72157710874999087\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48746060562_ee091dab14_c.jpg?resize=800%2C534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chattanooga Zoo27\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>A fennec fox.
