It was a boo-tiful time at zoo
Halloween-themed event draws families for fun and treats

Sunday, October 28, 2007
The birds and beasts outnumbered the monsters Saturday night, but Cayman Lancaster didn't mind.
The 4-year-old from Powell showed up for the 21st annual "Boo! at the Zoo" dressed as a red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. His 8-year-old sister Haylee came dressed as a she-devil.
"This is their first time here," said their father, Billy. "It's pretty cool for them. Instead of going to a stranger's house, they're getting to see the animals and learn."
The Lancasters and a herd of other children and adults spent the night getting an up-close look at the bears and elephants, riding the camels and visiting the 19 treat stations inside the zoo.
This year's event has drawn more than 10,000 visitors since it kicked off last weekend, Knoxville Zoo spokeswoman Janya Marshall said.
"Last week, we saw over 9,000 visitors," she said. "We've already seen about that many this week, and that's not counting tonight and tomorrow."

Baby boom at zoo
20 October 2007 16:00
A MINI baby boom has hit Colchester Zoo with four offspring born within a matter of weeks of each other.
The birth of two Red River hog piglets, and two types of primates, a Squirrel Monkey and a Mandrill, is set to boost the zoo's breeding programmes and help protect endangered species.
The zoo's breeding group of Mandrills, the largest in the country, got one bigger this month with the birth of a baby to mother Celine and father Dume in the Edge of Africa zone.
In total there are now 24 mandrills all living together at the zoo.
A spokeswoman for Colchester Zoo said: “This is excellent news for The European Endangered Species Programme that they are a part of, as they are one of the most endangered primates in the world. Their numbers are drastically reducing in the wild because of increasing habitat loss and hunting through the bushmeat trade.”

Zoo fans say it’s time for donors, volunteers to step up
In order to keep the animals, supporters may have to feed and clean up after them
By BILL SHEA Messenger staff writer
POSTED: October 21, 2007
People interested in volunteering or contributing to the Friends of the Oleson Park Zoo should contact Orville and Joyce O’Connell at 955-3258.
A flyer with more information on the group’s membership drive will be inserted in The Messenger this week.
The Oleson Park Zoo needs some support.
Everyone who has enjoyed the Fort Dodge site now has a chance to help keep it open for years to come.
The Friends of the Oleson Park Zoo is offering people who love the zoo animals the chance to feed them and, yes, clean up after them. And it’s actively seeking donations. Zoo T-shirts will be given to people who contribute money.
Jim Kramer, a spokesman for the private group, said it needs to find out how much public support it can count on as plans for the zoo’s future are developed.
‘‘The Friends of the Zoo would like to do what we can do to get the zoo set up and funded in a way that it can sustain itself,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s really critical that we find out how much volunteer and financial support is there to help us accomplish that.’’

Crumbling exhibit cramps style of zoo’s three sea lions
Animals confined to indoor facility as experts ready report on repair needs
By Stephen T. Watson - News Staff Reporter
Updated: 10/20/07 10:27 AM
Dallas, shown in 2005, checks out the then-new habitat he shared with zoo’s two other sea lions.
Pieces of concrete are falling off part of the Buffalo Zoo’s two-year-old Sea Lion Cove exhibit, and zoo officials have brought in a group of experts to find out what’s wrong.
The problem began just two months after the $5 million exhibit opened in August 2005, said Donna M. Fernandes, zoo president.
Repairs have not solved the problem, which, as yet, does not pose a threat to the zoo’s three sea lions, Fernandes said Friday.
“I think everybody’s trying to get to the root of the problem,” Fernandes said, describing the matter as an aesthetic issue.
Two independent experts and representatives from two Sea Lion Cove contractors examined the exhibit Thursday and Friday, and were expected to issue their findings soon.
Work on permanent repairs might not begin until the spring, Fernandes said. For now, the sea lions are confined to the indoor section of the exhibit.

Wal-Mart employees from northeast Louisiana and Mississippi descended on Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo in Monroe on Thursday to give the region's only zoo a face lift.
From fence clearing and landscaping to painting, more than 150 Wal-Mart employees volunteered eight hours of their time to the cleanup at the zoo. As part of the effort, they also donated $11,000 to Louisiana Purchase Zoological Society toward its goal of bringing back the miniature train ride.
"It's amazing," said zoo director Everett Harris. "They're able to accomplish in one day what we've been working on for a year. It's a great benefit to the zoo and a great example of what happens when businesses buy into the community initiatives."

Tribute to World Zoo Legend, Molly Badham
Posted on October 20, 2007 by kateandrews
Molly Badham, the inspired animal lover who co-founded Twycross Zoo and turned it into one of Britain’s best-loved attractions, has died.
Molly Badham was a surrogate mum, with a big difference. For over 40 years Molly played mother to baby chimps in Twycross Zoo. 40 years after opening and Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire is still going strong.

Molly Badham
Last Updated: 2:55am BST 22/10/2007
Molly Badham, who died on October 19 aged 93, was an expert on primates and co-founder of Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire; she also trained the chimpanzees who appeared in the television commercials for Brooke Bond PG Tips.
Molly Winifred Badham was born on May 18 1914, the daughter of an internationally-known herbalist. From an early age she loved animals, and after leaving Town School, Sutton Coldfield, she bred dogs and ran a boarding kennel. The money she made from breeding enabled her to set up her first business venture, a pet shop at Sutton Coldfield.
The rival pet shop in the town was run by Nathalie Evans, and it was in the window of Nathalie's shop that Molly Badham saw her first monkey in 1949. "From that moment a lifetime love-affair with monkeys and primates began," she later said.

Thousands of people visited the Knoxville Zoo this weekend for the 21st Annual Boo at the Zoo, an event that allows children to trick-or-treat within the safe walls of the zoo.
Boo at the Zoo, Knoxville's largest Halloween event, was held from Oct. 18-21 this week and will take place again from Oct. 25-28. The event lasts from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. each night.
"The purpose of the event is to provide a safe Halloween environment and also to benefit the zoo," said Janya Marshall, media relations manager for the zoo. Many other zoos across the nation hold similar events.

Perth Zoo's first baby echidna make public appearance
October 22, 2007 12:24pm
A TINY puggle - the first echidna born at Perth Zoo and only the ninth ever bred in Australia - made its first public appearance today.
It is hoped that the short-beaked echidna puggle (baby), named Jilba, will help unravel some of the mysteries of echidna reproduction and provide vital information to help save its endangered cousin, the long-beaked echidna, which is facing extinction in the wild.
Perth Zoo’s curator of Australian Fauna, John Lemon, said it was a very exciting time as echidnas were extremely difficult to breed in captivity. The puggle’s mother, Kiltah, had laid eggs in the past but no young had ever hatched.
Mr Lemon said the mother incubated the single egg for 10 days before it hatched on
August 4 and carried the puggle in her pouch for two months before depositing it in a burrow in early October.

Saying goodbye to an old friend at Abilene Zoo
By Scott Kirk
Special to the Reporter-News
Sunday, October 21, 2007
Abilene Zoo Director Bill Baker admitted that Sunday's farewell party for Tanya the elephant was a bittersweet affair.
Bitter in that her departure represents a sad ending to a tragic event from last spring, but sweet in that the Nelson Park Zoo's future as far as elephants are concerned will be cemented in the next two or three years.
Tanya will be leaving Abilene this week for a new home at the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco. Her days in Abilene were numbered when her companion, Tanzy, passed away suddenly on Aug. 13 at the age of 49.
Baker said it was an ethical decision to move the 29-year-old Tanya somewhere else so she could have the companionship of other elephants.

Slimy salamander spawns: Rare breeding is good news at Toledo Zoo
By JENNI LAIDMAN
BLADE SCIENCE WRITER
Mama salamander is ready for a fight.
If any of the other 20 or so salamanders housed with her even dares to sidle over to peek at her 18 eggs, she charges and bites.
And, yes, the six-inch amphibian has the teeth to make her threats a little more pointed.
The egg clutch she protects marks the Toledo Zoo's first instance of slimy salamander reproduction.
"It may be the first captive breeding ever," says Tim Herman, the herpetology keeper who watches over the salamanders. But that's not anything he can say for certain.

Kinah’s New Sister
Posted at 10:57 am October 22, 2007 by Nerissa Foland
Kinah has had some real excitement lately in her home here in Ituri Forest at the San Diego Zoo. At 6 p.m. on Saturday, October 20, 2007, Kinah became a big sister! Our late keeper had just brought the Allen’s swamp monkeys inside their night quarters when Kinah’s adoptive mom, Bunzi, went into labor and gave birth to her first baby (see previous blog, Kinah’s Best Friend). Due to Bunzi’s obvious pregnancy belly, we knew it wouldn’t be long before she gave birth. And despite being a first-time mom, Bunzi is doing a fantastic job caring for her baby. The infant looks healthy and alert and has been nursing up a storm: all good signs!

Zoo's founder dies, aged 93
Oct 22 2007
By Steve Evans
MOLLY Badham, the founder of a zoo near Nuneaton which trained the chimps for the PG Tips tea adverts, has died at the age of 93.
Only three years ago she was named Conservation Midlander of the Year in an awards event run by ITV in conjunction with media partners including the Coventry Telegraph.
Two years earlier, in 2002, it was the Telegraph who broke the news to her that she had been awarded the MBE for her services to the conservation of endangered species.
She and her business partner Nathalie Evans founded Twycross Zoo, on the Warwickshire and Leicester-shire border, in 1963.

Children Hoping to be Adopted Visit Hogle Zoo

Amanda Butterfield Reporting
A special group of kids went to Hogle Zoo this morning. For some of the kids, it was the first time they saw elephants and alligators in person. It's was also their first time in America.
This is Eevahn's first time to the zoo. Johnette McBride, of Eevahn's host family, says, "He's six years old; just barely turned six years old."
Eevahn, like the rest of these Ukrainian orphans, doesn't know a lot of English. But you don't need words to tell they're all having fun.

Cherry Brook Zoo Receives Accreditation Certification
Well this is our last day in Vancouver, BC and tomorrow morning we head for home in Saint John, NB. I guess the highlight of our trip to our National Conference was receiving our framed Accreditation Certification at the Awards Banquet in front of our fellow peers from across Canada. The newly revised accreditation process is a rigorous one encompassing Canadian, US and European standards all in one. Being one of the first few zoos in Canada to receive Accreditation under these new standards displays the hard work and constant efforts of Staff, Volunteers and Board Members to the Cherry Brook Zoo. Being a small facility leads some people to think we cannot work in the global environment along side the big facilities but we are here to prove you wrong. Accreditation shows we can and do meet the standards that are required; that we work in global conservation with may international breeding programs; we educate our young people and make a difference in what is happening in our world. The next time you visit us at the Cherry Brook Zoo know that you are in a facility with high standards and that work tirelessly to protect and preserve those species that struggle for survival.
Thank you to the Staff, our Volunteers and our Board of Trustees for this Award is yours to be proud of.

New ‘Animal Planet’ in the lap of Margallas
By Imran Naeem Ahmad
ISLAMABAD: If the Marghazar Zoo’s conceptual plan actually turns out to be what it looks on paper, it is set to become a truly top class facility that would indeed make the animals feel perfectly at home.
The zoo that sits in the lap of the Margalla Hills is being re-done and consultants hired by the Capital Development Authority (CDA) have prepared an elaborate plan for its development. Messers Unicon who will be working along with South African firm Van Riet & Louw, a prominent name in landscaping and zoo planning, have divided the facility into five distinct areas that will house the animals.

Welcome the newest member at Chhatbir zoo: A baby hippo
Express news service
Posted online: Tuesday , October 23, 2007 at 12:00:00
Updated: Tuesday , October 23, 2007 at 12:54:25
Chandigarh, October 22 The latest member of the Chhatbir Zoo ‘family’ is a 2-feet long hippo born this morning at the zoo itself. Surita, the mother hippopotamus, gave birth to the 20-25 kilogram baby hippo, bringing the total number of hippos at the zoo to five.
Zoo authorities said Surita gave birth in water and the condition of both the mother and baby was normal. However, the sex of the calf could not be determined as the baby was born in water and has not come out of water till now.
“The mother hippo is normal, while the calf is busy swimming. We have yet to determine the sex as usually the mother brings the calf out of water after 24 hours of birth,” said Dharminder Sharma, Director of Chhatbir Zoo.
“There are 87 hippopotamus in zoos across the country. Earlier there were four hippopotamus in Chhatbir Zoo which has now increased to five with the arrival of new one,” added Sharma.
Hippopotamus are found in the tropical regions of South Africa and they move in a group of 20 to 100.

Zoo Improvements
BILLINGS - Visitors to ZooMontana might notice some changes are in the works. The zoo recently finished paving all of its walkways. Many of them used to be covered with wooden chips.
Mihail Kennedy works at ZooMontana. He said they have been working on this project for more than seven years. They recently received some grant money that helped them complete the project.
He said the new walkways will make zoo trips more enjoyable for many.
"Being paved, it makes them much more accessible for wheel chairs, strollers, that kind of thing," he said. "It's also a lot easier on your ankles."
The zoo is also working on constructing a habitat for its grizzly bear exhibit. Kennedy said they hope to complete the exhibit by December or January and introduce Grizzlies by next spring.

Marquette's 'Dr. Dolittle' uses computers to unlock the meaning behind snorts, rumbles and cheeps

In childhood, Dr. Dolittle never had a pet of his own. The family kept fish, but he did not name or talk to them, feed them or clean their tanks. His enduring memory is that once, when he was 4 or 5, he banged the aquarium with a wooden block until the glass broke, and a catfish spilled out and flopped about on the floor.

Nature's mistakes -- or mishaps
By AUSTIN CUNNINGHAM Sunday, October 21, 2007
I've occasionally mentioned that I hope people will say of this column, "What's that SOB going to write about next?' Well, today I'm going to write about weird animals whose very existence is a mystery. What kind of God or Intelligent Design created them? I'll mention Tasmanian Devils, Duckbilled Platypuses, Wombats, Wallabies. Sloths, Koala Bears.
I've lived in a variety of locations, sometimes near zoos, sometimes not. The closer the better. I love to hear lions roaring in the nighttime distance. Or steamboats whistle. Sounds alert us to the fact that God's in his heaven and life is teeming out there. Zoos in Washington, Chicago, New Orleans -- near. In the Bronx, San Diego, Columbia -- far.
I have a theory that zoos have evolved in the last few generations.

Don`t just expect antics from animals, conserve them: Expert
Mumbai, Oct 21: The zoo authorities here are planning to realign the abode of animals as platforms for conserving and preserving the wildlife.
In their master plan sent to the Central Zoo Authority (CZA), New Delhi earlier this year, authorities of veer mata Jijabai Prani Udyan Zoo have proposed to give it a facelift by making it a place more for conservation and preservation of rare and endangered animals, rather than they being entertainment spots for common public.
A senior zoo official said, "we do receive about 6,000 to 7,000 visitors per day in zoo. In older concept, zoos were sites of entertainment but according to modern theories as proposed by CZA, zoos should be developed and revamped to conserve animals."
He said working on these lines they have formulated a master plan to makeover the 145 year old zoo, spread over 53 acres, located in heart of Mumbai at Byculla.
"Earlier people had a preconceived notion about animals, that a lion should always roar, a bear should dance and monkey should always make people laugh with its antics," he said.
And when animals do not perform these activities, sometimes people hurl items on them which can cause injury and even affect the psychology of an animal, he added.

HPIM0572 Camel facing left cropped
I was really surprised to find such a wide variety of animals tucked away on the southern Oregon coast just outside of a small town! And the animals were all obviously well-cared for. It's too bad that zoos like this can't recreate more of the environment that the animals would naturally have, and I'm sure the animals don't get the same kind of exercise and socializing they would be getting in the wild, but for a zoo, this was pretty nice. And if it wasn't for a zoo like this, I probably wouldn't ever have a chance to see some of these critters up close enough to get photos of them! So I'm a bit caught on what i think of zoos!

Zoo welcomes newborn gorilla (Video)
By CASEY MCNERTHNEY
P-I REPORTER
A western lowland gorilla was born Saturday morning at Woodland Park Zoo. The female is the 12th gorilla born there and third offspring of the 37-year-old mother and the 28-year-old father.
The infant and mother are under round-the-clock observation and can't be viewed by the public, and staff said future viewing depends on outdoor temperatures. Meanwhile, staff members plan to post images and video on the zoo's Web site, zoo.org, and on YouTube.
"The first 72 hours are the most critical for a newborn gorilla," said the zoo's interim associate veterinarian of animal health, Dr. John Ochsenreiter.
