Fordham University owned most of the land which became the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden. Fordham sold it to the City of New York for only $1 000 under the condition that the lands be used for a zoo and garden As of 2010, the Bronx Zoo is home to more than 4 000 animals of 650 species, many of which are endangered or threatened species.
