Lincoln Park Zoo welcomes back Prairie Dogs
The Prairie Dog Exhibit is back this summer, thanks in large part to a local businessman and zoo supporter’s family. Curt Hall, Park & Recreation Division Manager, tells SeehaferNews.com that this is great because the exhibit was empty in 2019. He said, “We worked with a local zoo and acquired a couple of new residents this spring. We do have three new prairie dogs on exhibit.”

I also didn't see this mentioned on here, but Caruso, the zoo's longtime male white-cheeked gibbon, was euthanized in August following a sudden disc-related problem in April that impacted his mobility. Caruso and his mate, Burma, had four offspring over the years. At 30, Caruso was one of the oldest white-cheeked gibbons in the AZA population. He'd been at Lincoln Park Zoo since 1993.
