Today’s Program

Howard Newens introduced Mary Healy the CEO of the Sacramento Zoo She spoke of the many new exibits and homes for their collection of annimals. They are building a larger enclosure for the giraffs in hopes that that will reproduce.  One of the newer exhibits is the Red RIver Hogs. There is a Veterinary Hospital on the grounds wth a residency program for UC Davis vet students. You can actually see surgery and other proceedures through their new viewing area. The Sacramento Zoo not only has great animals on display but they are involved with conservation programs with support from other areas who they are partnered with. Most wild animals are not brought from the wilds of the tundra but are traded with other zoos around the country and world.

Some of the fundraisers held are Earth Fest (Oct 3rd) the King of Feasts and the ever popular Ice Cream Safari. For Halloween they will have Boo at the Zoo. They have installed a "Merry Go Round"  with all wild animals  depected. For $5,000 you can sponsor an animal. Private parties are held ofen  and they have their own caterer.
