Why should you renew?
The opening of Teton Trek marks a
sweet reunion for the Memphis Zoo and
the animal world. With the opening of this
exhibit, we welcome grizzly bears back to
the Zoo! When you visit Teton Trek this fall,
you’ll meet these very “large and in-charge”
members of the brown bear family.
Teton Trek looks much different from the
home the previous grizzly residents knew.
In the 1930s, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) constructed a concrete bear
moat, as well as several other structures,
including a carnivore grotto and Monkey
Island.
Since that time, major improvements
have been made to give the grizzlies a more
“at-home” feel than what the bears of the
1930s experienced. The new grizzly exhibit
will have a much more naturalistic environ-
ment and will look similar to the areas they
inhabit in the wild.
“With Teton Trek we are bringing back
the bears with style,” said Matt Thompson,
Curator of Mammals. “The grizzlies’ new
home will feature climbing structures, a
digging pit, a waterfall and stream, over an
acre of space and a fishing area where Zoo
visitors can watch the bears fish for their
own food.”
This exhibit also brings a state-of-theart holding area for the grizzlies so their
keepers can monitor their health and
provide the care they will need when they
are not in public viewing areas.
“The old dens had no climate control,
minimal lighting, and we lacked the capability of easily separating a sick bear or even
a bear that just needed a routine physical,”
said Houston Winbigler, Assistant Curator of Mammals. “The new, off-exhibit
holding building has several well-lighted
rooms that can be used as a treatment
facility, and we have the ability to isolate
a bear that may not be feeling well.”
When grizzlies were previously part
of the Memphis Zoo population, they
were known for their active and energetic
lifestyle that made them exciting animals
to watch.
“We are very excited to have grizzly
bears back at the Memphis Zoo,” Thompson said. “Many Zoo visitors remember
our old bear grottos and especially the
playful antics of the grizzlies.”
Teton Trek will open to the public
October 9, but as a Memphis Zoo
member, you will see this exhibit before
anyone else. Mark your calendars for
October 2-8 to visit the grizzlies and the
rest of the animals of Teton Trek during
our Members-Only Preview. See you soon!

a time capsule of the Zoo we enjoy today.
The Carnivora Building, what we now
know as the Cat House Café, was built to
exhibit the Zoo’s cat collection. To mark this
purr-fect occasion, in July we’ll celebrate
100 years of fine felines at the Memphis
Zoo! Check out these “then and now”

photos of the Carnivora Building and see
the changes it has gone through over the
last century.
Since the Carnivora Building opened its doors in 1909,
various renovations have been made in both detail and
function. However, to maintain the Zoo’s historical
feel, the general structure of the building and its unique
characteristics remain intact.
In the early ’90s, we began a
campaign to “Free the Cats”
by building Cat Country, a
world-class Zoo exhibit unlike
Memphis had ever seen. The
changes made brought both the
animals and the visitors out of
the rigid, indoor structure and
into a picturesque, outdoor
environment which is much
more enjoyable not only for
the animals, but also for our
guests.

lions to experience the feel of
grass beneath his paws, when Cat
Country opened in 1993.
“Fred,” pictured left, is a relatively
new resident to the exhibit. He’s
now able to enjoy the sun and the
grass in his outdoor exhibit area at

Forest conservation benefits species

in the Qinling mountains of China.
Partnerships for International Forest Conservation
by Andrew Kouba, Director of Conservation and Research
Forest health is not a unique concept
in the United States and has been promoted by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS)
for decades. The USFS defines forest
health as a measure of the robust forest
ecosystems. Aspects of forest health
include biological diversity; soil, air, and
water productivity; natural disturbances
and the capacity of the forest to provide a
sustained flow of goods and services for
people.
The USFS and Memphis Zoo have
been working closely with China’s State
Forestry Administration (SFA) to implement
a similar program and concept within their
country. This long-term collaboration
between the Zoo, USFS, SFA and several
universities has been very productive and
has created positive change in the way
China’s government views ecosystem
services provided by forests (for example,
clean water, wildlife habitat, climate
change mitigation, soil erosion prevention).
There are currently nine large
demonstration sites throughout China.

Langur
Dik Dik
This summer brings many new faces
with a lot of births throughout the Zoo!
Visit us in the next few months to
welcome these animals who are new to
the Zoo.
One place you are sure to see several babies is the Round Barn. A female
dik dik was born May 16. Her mother,
“Whiz,” is about eight years old, and
because of the size of these small
antelopes, she’s not much bigger than
her baby. Dik diks only grow to be about
12-16 inches tall. Whiz’s fawn will be
full grown in about six months.
Just over a week later, a male steenbok was born to “Lucy” on May 24.
Steenboks are also small antelopes. Both
the steenbok and the dik dik are await-

ing their names. Their keepers will name
them when they are several weeks old.
At any moment the dama gazelle and
the duiker will give birth as well. Look
for these new faces at the Round Barn.
In the CHINA exhibit, the Francois’
langur baby is a must-see. One of the
most photogenic animals in the Zoo,
“Vickie Vale” stands out among her
exhibit-mates because of her bright
orange fur. Langurs are born orange
and begin gaining their black fur as
they get older. Vickie Vale was born
May 1 and is already beginning to
show her black coat.
Our keepers continue to keep a close
eye on our pregnant elephant, “Asali.”
Now that she is nearing the end of her
22-month gestation, she could give birth
at any time. She is currently still on
exhibit, and her keepers will soon begin
a 24-hour watch as they look for signs
of her going into labor.
The first two months after the calf’s
birth will be a critical time for both the
mother and the calf. The baby will be off
exhibit during that time as the keepers
and veterinarians keep a close watch on
its health to be sure the calf is thriving before it is introduced to the public.
We will be setting up an elephant cam
on memphiszoo.org so that you can see
the calf while it is off exhibit. This will
be the only way to see it for the first two
months, so stay tuned for elephant updates on our Web site.
