The Sierra Nevada Zoological Park, formerly the Sierra Safari Zoo, was a zoo north of Reno, Nevada, United States.[3] Opening in 1989, it grew to become the zoo that housed more exotics in the state. The zoo housed a wide variety of exotic animals from around the world, including chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, big cats, reptiles, sloths, and others.[4] The nonprofit zoo at times has received community support through in-kind donations such as meat from hunters to help support the animals in the zoo.[3]
The zoo is featured in the 2017 film War for the Planet of the Apes as the zoo that the character Bad Ape escapes from after his family and acquaintances are killed by the soldiers.[5]
