Zoo Safari USA

Zoo Safari USA is a USDA-licensed educational wildlife organization based in Locust Grove, Oklahoma, dedicated to rescuing animals and transforming them into ambassadors for their species. Rather than operating as a traditional walk-through zoo, Zoo Safari USA focuses on a traveling educational program that has brought live animal presentations to schools, daycares, and community events for over 30 years. The organization's diverse collection includes mammals such as marmosets and wallabies, birds including emus, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, with a special emphasis on Oklahoma native species alongside exotic animals. Interactive presentations allow participants to touch snakes and observe animals up close, creating memorable educational moments. Funded entirely through donations, the organization directs all resources toward animal care, veterinary services, and facility development, with an aspiration to become a comprehensive teaching institution for zoo operations and animal welfare education.
