What's New at the Zoo(3)

The Taronga Zoo
The Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, offers special animal encounters. Visitors can see a koala up close, feed a giraffe or hold a reptile. For those who want to learn what it's like to work at a zoo, Taronga offers a "Keeper for A Day" program for anyone over 18 years old. Participants help prepare food, clean exhibits and learn about animal care.
The San Diego Zoo
At Southern California's San Diego Zoo, animals dwell in natural-looking areas. Wildlife photography lovers can take a class to learn the secrets of photographing animals. The zoo's backstage pass program offers people opportunities to meet a cheetah or feed a rhino. Zookeepers also teach people how to talk to the animals so they will talk back!
Before the zoo opens, people can join Sunrise Surprise Strolls to get the latest updates on the animals and special happenings. Who knows what those may be!
Don't miss the chance to visit one of these zoos and enjoy wildlife in a new way!
