1. Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Total Animals in the Zoo: 2,000

Annual Visitors: 13.89 million

Walt Disney Co’s (NYSE: DIS) zoological theme park deviates from the traditional setup of a zoo and actually includes exhibits based on its movies. These include Pandora (based on the movie Avatar), Rafiki’s Planet Watch (based on The Lion King), and Discovery Island (based on A Bug’s Life). Interestingly, the theme park is actually accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums. And that means they have met the required standards for research and conservation just as a regular zoo would. The theme park has assisted in the conservation of the white rhinoceros species of Uganda, and eight of them have been born at the Animal Kingdom and subsequently reintroduced to Uganda.
