North Georgia Zoo is home to hundreds of
  animals.  Many of the animals spend their time behind the scenes for a variety of reasons. Many of the animals are  working as animal ambassadors and going out  to schools, parties and other events.  Other animals are in the process of their  training program that involves daily interaction and positive reinforcement.   These animals are preparing for movies, commercials and waiting for their claim  to fame!  Our animals have been used in Vampire Diaries,  Coma, Tony Danza and  more!   Of course their is always the nursery which is the
favorite.  These  animals simply aren't ready to be part of the zoo tour but are staring their  interaction with people so they do love to visit!
