Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens
I am a proud member of the Los Angeles Zoo, which is home to more than 1,100 animals from around the world, representing more than 250 different species, many of which are endangered in the wild. The zoo is also a Botanical Garden, featuring more than 800 different species of plants, which provide food and shelter for many native and migratory birds, and also provides browse for many residents of the zoo.

A male Trumpeter Swan. One of seven swan species, the trumpeter is the world’s largest waterfowl with a wingspan of roughly 6.5 feet and a weight of up to 25 pounds. It flies with extraordinary power, but due to its weight, is unable to launch directly from the water. The swan must paddle along the surface about 18 feet before taking off.
