New York City's northernmost borough has a reputation for being a gritty, urban jungle. But it's also home to the massive, world renowned Bronx Zoo.

Lynne Malcolm visits Adelaide Zoo in South Australia where she reports on active efforts to save endangered native animals. She also comes face-to-face with a screeching Tasmanian Devil called Dexter. |
