There are two other special enrichment sessions at the zoo. Visitors can watch keepers feed penguins at the Russel B. Aitken seabird colony, and see the special presentation at Tiger Mountain. At the latter, keepers perform daily checkups on the Siberian Tigers (as well as enriching them) through mesh, giving viewers an up close look at the tigers.

Other exhibits of note include the Birds of Prey Aviary sections, containing Andean Condors, the largest bird of prey, and the Aquatic Bird House. This indoor bird exhibition allows visitors to see larger, aquatic birds with no glass to inhibit photography.

The most recent exhibit finished is for African Wild Dogs, located near the cheetahs. Future expansion includes the rennovation of the Lion House on historic Astor Court, which is being transformed into a Madagascar exhibit, showing lemurs, fossas, and a crocodile. This project is expected to be complete sometime in 2008.
