The Bismarck Tribune Discovery Center

 
Located at the Dakota Zoo in Bismarck, is the newly opened Bismarck Tribune Discovery Center.  The center hosts a children's play area, aquarium (complete with North Dakota's endangered fish, the pallid sturgeon), science center, and a mechanical cow (featuring udders that really work).  The Fish and Wildlife Service is a proud cooperator in the development of the center.  Stop by the zoo and enjoy the new Discovery Center while learning more about North Dakota's threatened and endangered species.

The Fish and Wildlife Service has a history of cooperation with the Dakota Zoo.  Pictured on the left is the North Dakota Threatened and Endangered Species Kiosk located next to the bald eagle enclosure at the zoo. Artwork of all threatened or endangered species, as well as history and habitat information, are presented on the kiosk.
