Construction is underway at the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro on a new 10-acre expansion that will spotlight Asia.
“Asia Continent,” which is expected to open in 2026, will highlight species such as tigers, Komodo dragons, Visayan warty pigs, Asian small-clawed otters, red-crowned cranes, wrinkled hornbills, king cobras and white-cheeked gibbons.
The area will also include a 300-seat indoor cafe overlooking the tiger’s habitat and an overhead tiger walk.
