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: June 2008
Our International Koalas
The San Diego Zoo has a history with koalas that dates back to the 1920s, when our fi rst two came as a gift from Australia. Since 1983, the Zoo has been actively involved in conservation and education projects on behalf of these much-loved animals. One is the Zoo’s program to loan Queensland koalas Phascolarctos cinereus adustus from our colony to other U.S. zoos and zoos around the world. Seeing one of these fuzzy marsupials in person has allowed many more people to make their own koala connection. Find out more about the San Diego Zoo’s work with koalas in this month's issue of ZOONOOZ®
