How would you improve the Los Angeles Zoo in your own way

Hi ZooChat Family! I've lived in LA since 1991, and my paycheck job is working in business affairs for one of the film studios in Burbank. But, my heart belongs to the Los Angeles Zoo. I recently completed the docent program to be a primate specialist. I spend my weekends talking to our guests...

Hello all, I am going to be in California in mid-March, and will be breaking my return flight in Dallas. I will be able to visit LA Zoo and the Aquarium of the Pacific in Los Angeles (possibly also the Marine Mammal Rescue Center); then San Diego Zoo, San Diego Safari Park, San Diego SeaWorld...

Hi ZooChat! Been lurking for about a month, but figured now's the time to actually make an account and contribute to the conversations I love reading about. My name's Ing, which you can use or my username, Lionsbian (a play on my love for all lion species and being a lesbian). My pronouns are...

I am back from a wonderful trip to California, and back with a new review/species list for the second zoo I visited (first one was the San Francisco Zoo : https://www.zoochat.com/community/threads/san-francisco-zoo-species-list-july-8th-2023.488003/). My second zoo stop was the Los Angeles Zoo...

There were no meeting minutes or animal transaction documents for December . There is a January animals transactions. I will say though that looking at this list was a bit upsetting. https://s36593.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/01.2022-Animal-Transactions.pdf

I'm doing an AZA approved research project on the genetics of spot-patterns of Masai giraffe and I very much need to get some photos of Kito who was at the LAZoo from 1981-2005 and sired a very large number of giraffe. I've exhaustively searched Flicker and other websites but have come up empty...

I pored over the Los Angeles Zoo's master plan a while back, and I actually came up with an idea to preserve some of the roundhouses while at the same time maximizing animal welfare in the process. What if they were converted into viewing shelters with glass panes, mesh panes, etc.? Said...

So to start the new year and decade. ‘The L.A. Zoo is excited to announce its first hatching of 2020 and a *first-time* reproduction for us! The fringe-limbed tree frog is rarely seen in nature and we've been working for two years in hopes of egg fertilization. It will take several months for...

I'm curious about the state of Tasmanian devils at the L.A. Zoo. They aren't listed on the zoo's website as one of their exhibited animals, and I couldn't find them on the zoo's map. However, I haven't seen anything that suggests that the zoo sent them away, so does anybody know if the zoo still...

Did they ever completely demolish Treetops Terrace? I remember seeing the walls without the roof during construction. Then when the construction was done the walls seemed to look the same. So did they just re-roof it, or was it completely demolished and replaced with something similar?

Just went to Roaring Nights on Friday. A lot of the zoo was closed off, but luckily my Mom and I got to see Rainforest of the Americas. We thought it was pretty good, although of course there weren't any glare problems at the time. A zookeeper informed us that one of the Otters was off exhibit...

I remember seeing a young giraffe named Rafiki at the Los Angeles zoo around the year 2000 (I think). Does anyone know what happened to him?
