Currently it has 1,236 specimens of 222 different species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, as well as a butterfly garden, a herpetarium and a museum dedicated to the salamander, a species endemic to Mexico.

                    A graduation and retirement ceremony for guide dogs is taking place at the facilities of the I.A.P. Guide Dog Training School for the Blind in Mexico City, where five dogs are graduating and retiring after completing their training and service as guide dogs to people with visual disabilities (blind or low vision). Silvia Lozada Badillo, the director and founder of the Guide Dog Training School for the Blind I.A.P., who became visually disabled at the age of three due to a viral illness, is leading the event. After years, she sought support and traveled to the United States to attend the Leader Dogs for the Blind school, where she received her first guide dog, a German shepherd. She has been using guide dogs for 40 years. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
