Welcome to the wild world of ZOONOOZ
What is ZOONOOZ? Well, for one thing the title is a palindrome: the same forward, backwards, and upside down! Beyond that, it is the San Diego Zoo's member magazine, 32 pages of colorful animal and event information published every month.
First published in 1926, it is one of the benefits included in becoming a member of the San Diego Zoo, and most of the 250,000 plus circulation is mailed to our members.
What will you find in ZOONOOZ?
- Feature-length articles about the animals that live at the San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park.
- Articles about Zoo and Wild Animal Park exhibits and what animals you’ll see there.
- The regular feature CRES Conservation Corner, with stories about research and conservation projects from Conservation and Research for Endangered Species (CRES).
- The regular feature On the Botanical Side, with stories about the huge variety of plants found on the grounds of the Zoo and the Wild Animal Park.
- The special ZOONOOZ calendar issue every November.
- News about events, education programs, giving opportunities, and conservation efforts.
If you want to be in the know, ZOONOOZ is for you!
ZOONOOZ® Magazine: January 2008
Jumbo-Size Fun at the Park
Red means stop! And in the case of the tomato frog Dyscophus antongilii, it means “Stop, don’t eat me, or you’ll be sorry!” As with other brightly colored amphibians, its standout skin is a warning that the wearer is toxic if eaten. Amphibians like frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts are bringing us other warnings, as well—their numbers are declining dramatically, an indication that ecosys- tems and the environment are in trouble. Pollution, habitat loss, and climate change are among the main culprits, and the San Diego Zoo is helping to raise the red fl ag to stop these important and interesting species from going extinct. Find out about efforts to leap to the rescue in this month's issue of ZOONOOZ®
