Aardvark
The Aardvark at the Bronx Zoo is found in the Carter Giraffe Building. It lives in a feather small enclosure found in a dark room (due to the Aardvark being a nocturnal animal), between the Girrafe enclosure and the exit of the building.
Lion
African Lions are found in the south Sahara desert and in various parts of southern and eastern Africa. They live in arid climates.
Painted Hunting Dog
