Today, the Zoo is home to around 12,000 animals, including Asian lions, Sumatran tigers, Sloth bears, Leadbeater’s possums and Death adders. The famous spiral-shaped Penguin Pool, which is Grade I listed, is the home of Black-footed penguins, whilst the Aquarium houses sharks, piranhas and other sea creatures. The zoo also has beautiful gardens, as well as innovative zoo buildings, designed by architects such as Decimus Burton who designed the Giraffe House, Berthold Lubetkin who was responsible for the Penguin Pool and Sir Hugh Casson, responsible for the Elephant and Rhino Pavilion.
