ZooAmerica's black bearFinally, ZooAmerica opened a new bear exhibit in 2000, complete with hills, grass, toys, and a 13,000-gallon swimming pond stocked with fish for the bears. Two albino alligators were temporarily acquired the following year, and another in 2012. In 2004, the zoo launched a programme to get kids involved in conservation. It featured an official mascot, Ranger Scratch, as well as the Ranger Scratch Kid's Club, a programme designed to teach children about conservation and environmental issues. Five years later, the zoo completed construction of their new education building, the Woodlands Education Center, which provides guests with animal experiences.

Conservation
ZooAmerica's butterfly conservation efforts
ZooAmerica is an active participant in the Species Survival Plan conservation and breeding programmer (SSP). Thick-billed parrots, Canada lynx, black-footed ferrets, and ocelots are currently housed and bred at the zoo. The zoo previously housed swift fox as part of the SSP. ZooAmerica has previously played an important role in reintroducing the golden eagle and peregrine falcon, both of which were facing serious threats in the wild. ZooAmerica, on the other hand, has raised many birds of prey that have since been released, including a peregrine falcon that was discovered nesting along the Susquehanna River. Beginning in 2011, ZooAmerica collaborated with Fort Indian town Gap on a project to raise Regal Fritillary butterflies for conservation.
