Dallas Zoo and Forth Worth Zoo atTexas
Now, let us go to the beautiful and big state (in terms of population and land area), in the United States -- the state of Texas. Aside from beautiful places like farms, valleys, waterfalls, lakes, Texas is known for its parks and zoos. All in all, there are 14 zoos at Texas and two of them is just ten and fifteen minutes away from where I am located, here at Dallas, Texas -- the Dallas Zoo and The Forth Worth Zoo.
Dallas City is the primary economic center of the 12-county Dallas-Forth Worth-Arlington (Arlington is home to the biggest stadium in the world, the Dallas Cowboys Stadium). The three areas belong to the metropolitan area and has a population of 6.4 million as of July 2009 according to the US Census Bureau, it is also the 4th largest metropolitan area in the US.
These two zoos, the Forth Worth Zoo and the Dallas Zoo are just fifteen twenty minutes away from each other. So come and join me in a travel down the south of US -- to the Dallas Zoo and Fort Worth Zoo.
