perspective A Letter From President and CEO Kevin J. Bell and Chairman of the Board David P. Bolger

New Milestones in Conservation and Care Every year at Lincoln Park Zoo is one of accomplishment, reflecting new arrivals, new research initiatives and new efforts to bring the world of wildlife to millions of annual visitors. Even as the challenging circumstances of the past year affected institutions and guests alike, the zoo succeeded in advancing our ambitious mission of conservation and care.

Conservation was a special emphasis during the past fiscal year, with the zoo hosting the International Wildlife Reintroduction Conference, the first international meeting dedicated to the science of restoring species to their homes in the wild. Closer to home, the zoo expanded our emphasis on local conservation by launching the Urban Wildlife Institute, a research center funded by the Davee Foundation that will serve as a model for managing conflict between humans and wildlife in an urban setting.

The zoo’s commitment to local wildlife is embodied in our latest effort, the Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo, which aims to establish a natural oasis in the zoo’s backyard. The new Nature Boardwalk will feature natural shorelines, native birds, frogs, fish and mammals and an expansive interactive boardwalk to engage and educate visitors. Construction to transform the South Pond is underway; when complete, the Nature Boardwalk will offer a new benchmark for urban green space and local conservation.

Further changes were seen on zoo grounds in the past year.

New species (sugar gliders, caiman lizards) and new arrivals (Francois’ langurs, Guam Micronesian kingfishers) added to the diversity of our living collection. Expanded education programs, including the new Exploring Ape Behavior series, let visitors step into scientists’ shoes to experience groundbreaking research on ape tool-use, behavior and cognition. Finally, the zoo continued to be a leader in providing care to geriatric animals, with our Nutrition Center, veterinary staff, and keepers and curators collaborating to help our animals live longer, healthier lives. The milestone 50th birthday of chimpanzee Keo was just one example of their success.

While we’re proud of all of our achievements, perhaps our most-meaningful accomplishment in the past year is one that lies at the heart of our mission: remaining free and open to all, 365 days a year. In trying times, the zoo is available to everyone due to the continued generosity of our donors, supporters and friends. Thank you for helping us to extend the wonder of wildlife to those who may need it most.

Fun

“Zoo.”“Fun.” As anyone who’s marveled at monkeys, been thrilled by tigers or amazed by armadillos could tell you, those are two words that go well together. Throw in “summer” as well, and you have a perfect vehicle for good times, full of amazing animals and family fun.

And while it’s true that a fun day at the zoo doesn’t require much planning beyond getting up and going, a few tips can make the trip even better. Here’s our guide to good times at the zoo, full of events, tips and tricks to help you make the most of your summer visit.

Above, left-to-right: Visitors can greet the goats at the Farm-in-the-Zoo Presented by John Deere, observe gorilla enrichment at Regenstein Center for African Apes or learn how the zoo is conserving red wolves and African lions. Below: A Conservation Close-up with the African wild dogs highlights how scientists are working to save this endangered species.

Meet An Animal

Experience Enrichment

Animal ambassadors provide an exciting way to experience the wonders of wildlife, from tip to tail. Stop by Regenstein Small Mammal-Reptile House to meet the Animal of the Hour (11 a.m., 2 p.m.) or drop by the Farm-in-the-Zoo Presented by John Deere to greet the goats (10:30 a.m.–4 p.m.). The scales of a ball python or fur of a goat offer unforgettable lessons on animal adaptations.

Animals throughout the zoo participate in operant-conditioning sessions to help them participate in their own care. In these voluntary interactions, keepers use positive reinforcement to cultivate desired behaviors, such as gorillas presenting specific body parts for examination or gray seals moving to another area to facilitate veterinary care. Observe firsthand how keepers engage animals with conditioning sessions at Regenstein Center for African Apes (1:30 p.m.) or the Kovler Sea Lion Pool (10:30 a.m., 2 p.m.).

Morning, Noon and Night Different times of day offer different experiences at Lincoln Park Zoo. Morning meals make for active mammals while noontime sun can encourage napping, especially for animals in outdoor exhibits. Mix up when you visit, and you might find new sights each time. Of course, behavior is species-specific. As General Curator Megan Ross, Ph.D., says, “Lions can sleep up to 20 hours a day—noontime doesn’t mean much to them.”

Conservation Close-Ups A world of wildlife can be found in the zoo’s 35 acres, but new Education programs highlight conservation efforts taking place across the globe. Head to the African wild dog exhibit to learn how zoo scientists are conserving one of Africa’s signature—and vanishing—species (1 p.m.). Visit Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo to find out how new red wolf pups are helping the species howl back from the brink of extinction (3:30 p.m.). Take a trip to the renovated rhino yard to find out how the expanded digs are part of the zoo’s plan to help this endangered species recover (10 a.m., 3 p.m.).

Pick a Theme Given that the zoo features a world of wildlife—more than 200 species from seven continents—a fun way to focus your visit can be to organize it around a theme. Visit all of the Australian animals in our collection, learning how birds and marsupials have adapted to life on the island continent. Map out the connections between predator (African lions, for instance) and prey (Grant’s gazelles). Our online fact sheets provide plenty of info about the animals at the zoo—visit www.lpzoo.org/animals to learn more before you visit.

Stay Put It’s tempting to fit in as many animals as you can on your visit, but the richest rewards come from spending a long time at one exhibit. “The more time you spend with an animal, the better you can understand how they interact with their surroundings and how they might act in the wild,” says Ross. Exhibits and enrichments are designed to encourage natural behaviors, whether it’s meerkats digging in their soft substrate at Regenstein African Journey or white-cheeked gibbons swinging through the branches at the Helen Brach Primate House. Patient visitors are often rewarded with spectacular sights.

Listen and Learn

Curiosity carts, Malott Family Zoo Interns and dedicated docents all offer extra information on the zoo’s amazing animals. Take advantage of these animal interpreters—ask them questions! “You can get so much more out of your visit by learning about what goes on behind the scenes, whether its how keepers take care of animals or what our scientists do for conservation,” says Manager of Guest Engagement Andrea Chynoweth. Look for dark-green Lincoln Park Zoo T-shirts, and you’ll be on your way.

Take a Ride The LPZoo Children’s Train and AT&T Endangered Species Carousel offer a fun break from the world of wildlife. Take a ride with your favorite species (the carousel offers 48 artisan-crafted wooden animals) and then visit them afterwards!

Above: Watch the gorillas browse and follow it up with a snack of your own. Below: Volunteers offer hands-on lessons on the the world of wildlife, making your trip more memorable. Active animals, such as the playful otters, bring new excitement with every visit.

Make a Meal of It Take a break from watching the camels chew cud with a meal at one of the zoo’s restaurants. You can enjoy fresh organic fare at Café At Wild Things, burgers, beer and wine at Café Brauer, a selection of snacks from Park Place Café or traditional zoo goodies at our other locations. Take advantage of the warm weather by packing a picnic lunch! Or, if you don’t feel like lugging your cooler around, let the zoo do the picnic planning for you—find out how at www.lpzoo.org/info/plan_event/picnics.html.

Farmer for a Day The Farm-in-the-Zoo Presented by John Deere offers plenty of opportunities for city kids to get a taste of life on the farm. Marvel at massive mammals with the daily cow-feeding sessions (10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m.) or help the harvest at the Edible Garden by pulling weeds, planting seeds or digging out the latest veggies (10 a.m.–1 p.m., Wednesday and Saturday).

Step Into a Scientist’s Shoes

Held Wednesday–Sunday in Regenstein Center for African Apes, Exploring Ape Behavior offers an insider’s view of the building’s chimpanzee and gorilla research. Participants gain an exciting overview of research at the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes, seeing examples of tool-use and cognitive studies before embarking on their own behavioral research project.

Learn how scientists study our closest cousins—visit www.lpzoo.org/eab for info on tickets and times.

Come Back A living collection brings new rewards with every visit. The North American river otters that were napping on your previous visit may be diving through the water; chimpanzees and gorillas that were snoozing may be searching for fresh veggies scattered throughout their exhibit. It’s impossible to predict what any day will bring, but frequent visits ensure that every trip carries its own kind of zoo fun.

Season of Love During the breeding season, the Blyth’s hornbill male within the McCormick Bird House will present grapes—a prized fruit—to the female in an attempt to woo her. Nearby at the Kovler Penguin/Seabird House, male rockhopper penguins will present the best stones to females, a romantic gesture that helps them build their nests. And within Regenstein Center for African Apes, female gorillas will lock eyes with their silverback, a sign that they’re interested in more than grooming.

While these varied forms of animal courtship are taking place within the exhibits at Lincoln Park Zoo, guests strolling the grounds are courting one another as well, from teenagers on first dates to married couples celebrating anniversaries.

Visitors shared their romantic tales, proving that the lovebirds within Regenstein African Journey aren’t alone.

years before Gaizutis proposed at that same gate. “To this day it’s my favorite spot in the city,” she admits. The pair now resides in Ohio, sans dogs but with three boys. When they visit Chicago, their first stop is Lincoln Park Zoo.

sNewly transplanted to Chicago in 1994, Ivy Herman was introduced to Chad Gaizutis, who promptly ignored her. But the next morning, while Herman was touring Lincoln Park with her parents and her beloved dog, Riley, Gaizutis appeared with his own dog.

Since they couldn’t enter the zoo with their four-legged companions, they stood at the Conservatory Gate and admired the elephants. “Something instantly sparked,” she says. They dated three

sTracy Guth met Todd Spangler while both were students at Northwestern University. For their first date they went to the spot her parents took their first date—Lincoln Park Zoo. On this day in 1992, Guth remembers, there were a lot of new arrivals, newborns and hatchlings enlivening the exhibits. Foreshadowing? Perhaps. The pair married at Café Brauer in 2000 and has two kids of their own.

s“I really did fall in love with my soul mate at Lincoln Park Zoo,” says Monica Colon, who joined her fiancé for an afternoon outing to the zoo in 2003. Both were students at Chicago’s Gage Park High School. Colon was surprised that Cristo Mireles—he of the tough exterior—wanted to visit the animals. But it was a pleasant surprise. “As we strolled the zoo, I grew a love for him that I thought I would never have for any guy. I could see the excitement in his eyes, and I just knew we would be together forever.” The two are getting married this July.

sHere’s a secret about veterinary school—it produces couples in addition to vets. According to Mike Kinsel, D.V.M., head of the Zoo Pathology Program based at the University of IllinoisChampaign, the small classes, group projects and demanding workload prompt future vets to fall for future vets. Of course, it didn’t happen immediately for him—Kinsel was set up on a date at Lincoln Park Zoo with a classmate a few years after they’d graduated. But he fell fast. “The story I tell is that by the time we got to the birds of prey I knew I was going to get hitched to this woman,” chuckles Kinsel, who thinks of his wife, Julie, whenever his duties at Lincoln Park Zoo have him near the cinereous vultures.

Guests aren’t the only ones struck by Cupid’s arrow. Lincoln Park Zoo employees have loads of love stories. sManager of Administrative Services Sherri Moriarty Burton met Kory Burton at the zoo in 1999, back when she was working in the Membership Department and he was director of facilities. He proposed in front of a crowd near the Helen Brach Primate House.

And they were married at Café Brauer in 2000. sIT Director Phil Beckert met Megan Williams when she was working in the zoo’s Education Department. “She was always bugging me about computer stuff,” he jokes. The two dated after work, fell in love and took the plunge on the Main Mall near the Kovler Sea Lion Pool.

Engaging Events

Romance can happen on any day at the zoo, but special events provide special opportunities.

Fun ontheJob While visitors watch penguins dive or follow zebras as they trot through their habitat, zoo employees enjoy their time on the clock. Whether it’s caring for animals, educating kids or simply working in a place of conservation and care, fun on the job takes many forms at Lincoln Park Zoo.

Dan Boehm, Zoological Manager, Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo and Regenstein Small Mammal-Reptile House (below) Stumbling upon a rattlesnake in the wild may be a scary proposition for some. But after spending two seasons searching for massasaugas in Cook County as part of a zoo conservation project (and not personally discovering any), I was happy for the opportunity to search for eastern massasauga rattlesnakes in Michigan, the last U.S. stronghold for the species.

Finding massasaugas involves hours of trekking through marshy grasslands, trying to spot an earth-toned snake among grasses, cattails, leaf litter and brush. After four days of searching more than 300 acres with a team of four—four days of coming up empty—I actually didn’t believe my eyes as I spotted a large adult massasauga basking in the late afternoon sun.

An energetic search uncovered another massasauga 20 minutes later, and then I found a third snake just before it got too dark to continue searching. The poison sumac rash, eyestrain and sore neck from hours of scanning to pick out a snake in a “sea” of grass-

es and cattails had finally paid off. The best part? The hand-held GPS units we used to map our search showed we’d literally been passing by the snakes for several days.

Jessica Monahan, Director of Public Programs and Guest Engagement It’s a zoo out there! I used to say that at my last job when we were really busy, but today I can say it’s true. No day is ever the same at Lincoln Park Zoo. Every day offers new challenges and opportunities to learn, from flamingos nesting to providing conservation camp scholarships or working with our talented volunteers. And unlike at most work locations, if you’re having a bad day here, a little time away in Africa (through a visit to Regenstein African Journey), can recharge the batteries fast. The best part of working at the zoo is the fun that comes in teaching new lessons brought on by changes and adjustments in our animal collection.

I never stop learning while at the zoo, which is the most fun of all!

Elizabeth Andersen, Zoological Manager Birds Many things about my job keep me inspired and engaged, with every season bringing a new set of challenges. It’s spring now, our busiest time in the Bird Department, and breeding season is in full swing. Almost every exhibit needs a constant supply of nesting material, diet changes and adjustments in care to encourage breeding. I enjoy all the bird behaviors we see during this time: courtship behaviors, incubation behaviors and chick-rearing behaviors all require action on our part.

I spend a lot of time working with keepers, our curator, nutritionist and vets in order to develop strategies that keep us prepared.

With so many different bird species, so many different people (and so many different ideas!), just navigating the information can be a full-time job! It’s a challenge to stay on top of it all, but I learn a lot about these birds and our team in the process. That’s probably the best part—learning. (Although nothing beats the success of breeding a bird species that is historically difficult to breed!)

Leah Melber, Director of Student and Teacher Programs It’s difficult to have a bad day at the office when you work at Lincoln Park Zoo. That’s not because the job is easy. It’s because even the toughest day gets a lot better when you can add in a quick visit to your favorite animal. When I joined the zoo in December, I always made a point of swinging by the tigers between meetings to spend a few minutes admiring their bright stripes against the white snow. I didn’t think it could get any better. With the weather warming up and more visitors coming, I now have the added benefit of enjoying my favorite animals through the eyes of others. Watching a toddler scream an animal’s name and run to an exhibit with a grin the size of Texas turns even the toughest day around. Multiply that by the sheer number of times this happens each day, and you can understand just how fun my job is.

Balls, Bubbles, Barrels & The goats at the Farm-in-the-Zoo Presented by John Deere pop bubbles with their stubby noses. The young chimpanzees nearby at Regenstein Center for African Apes wrestle with one another among the branches of the trees. The tigers pounce on sturdy plastic balls with their massive paws in the yard outside the Kovler Lion House.

These animals are playing, just as sure as the children playing ball on the South Lawn, wrestling with each other on the grass and popping bubbles that mom blows into the summer sky.

What is Play?

Who Plays?

Some scientists are hesitant to label animals’ behavior as “play,” fearing that such a term flirts with anthropomorphism, or ascribing human traits to animals. But those scientists are in a shrinking minority.

“Yes, animals play,” says Elizabeth Lonsdorf, Ph.D., director of the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes.

“There are still some that believe that animals are simply responseoriented organisms—that they have a hard-wired set of pre-determined responses to stimuli—but that crowd is dwindling.”

Supporting her theory, Lonsdorf cites the diverse behaviors (exhibited by varied species) that have no obvious benefit, play behaviors that are “incompletely functional.” “Animals forage to eat. They groom to stay healthy. But some behaviors are done just for fun. Just ask anyone who owns a dog.”

So is play limited to dogs and chimpanzees? Not so. Nearly every species plays, according to Ph.D. candidate Matthew Heintz, a graduate student of Lonsdorf ’s at the University of Chicago.

Heintz is currently in Gombe National Park conducting a Lincoln Park Zoo-supported six-month study of chimpanzee monkeyshines. “Play is widespread among mammals from apes to zebras and the birds, turtles and octopi in between,” he says. “The most common form of play behavior occurs through locomotor play (e.g. chasing), but styles of play are just as diverse as the number of species that engage in them.”

According to Heintz, the term “play” includes a variety of behaviors, from manipulating objects to locomoting behavior and social interaction. It is “any behavior that appears purposeless, is expressed repeatedly and exhibited voluntarily.”

8 LINCOLN PARK ZOO

Lincoln Park Playground Sure, Lincoln Park Zoo is a world leader in scientific research and supports conservation projects here in Chicago and around the world. But it’s also one heck of a playground. Take a look at some of the most common players: •Young gorilla Amare will wrestle with dad, Kwan, at Regenstein Center for African Apes. It can get rough, and even resemble a fight, but can be distinguished as play by specific facial expressions and vocalizations.

Why Play?

The apparent purposelessness of play can prove tricky for scientific study. In short, researchers are not exactly sure why animals play. “I don’t think we know the motivation,” says Lonsdorf, who has witnessed an octopus squirting guests at the Mall of America Aquarium and chimpanzees playing keep-away within the forests of Gombe. “Play has persisted through evolution, but understanding its function is such a tough question that many have avoided studying it.”

There are some widely accepted hypotheses. Play strengthens social bonds while providing an outlet for energy, which explains why young individuals exhibit play more commonly than geriatrics. It trains young animals to fend off predators, gives them a tool to assess their own abilities and helps develop cognition.

Play Masters While play behaviors are observed across the animal kingdom, they are most evident in mammals, particularly primates whose intelligence, opposable thumbs, parent-rearing and social structures contribute to horsing around.

“Chimpanzees in particular play at a higher frequency than most other mammals,” explains Lonsdorf, who chuckles when recalling observing a female chimpanzee getting tickled by a fluttering cicada she was playing with, an example of what scientists call “object play.”

With great apes, play can be more complex than with less-intelligent species. For example: self-handicapping, in which a larger, more dominant gorilla will lower himself in order to wrestle with a smaller playmate.

(Sound familiar, dads?)

Rules exist with play among great apes, too. Play fighting is fine until one chimpanzee slaps too hard. (Sound familiar, moms?)

•At the Antelope & Zebra Area, hoofed species like the Grevy’s zebras are given boomer balls (think large, sturdy beach balls), which they roll around their yards. When presented cardboard tigers during enrichment sessions, the lumbering Sichuan takin male puts on an impressive wrestling show.

•The chickens aren’t the only ones who enjoy popping bubbles at the Farm-in-the-Zoo Presented by John Deere.

Keepers similarly enrich the ponies and rabbits, owls and goats, which respond to the bubbles with varying levels of interest. The goats—naturally boisterous beasts—climb up on keepers as they blow.

•At Regenstein African Journey, the young female rhinoceros plays with barrels, scampers around her yard and performs mock charges at the male, which is fun only if you’re the larger rhinoceros.

•At the McCormick Bear Habitat, the sun bears wrestle throughout the day, grabbing one another with their long claws and tumbling to the ground.

•When presented with paper-maché prey dummies, the puma at the Kovler Lion House pounces with the same vigor exhibited by the Amur tigers when given boomer balls attached to bungee cords.

•Nearby at the Kovler Sea Lion Pool, the gray seals toy with fish frozen into blocks of ice, violating mom’s rule not to play with your food.

The Benefits of Play As anybody could tell you as they walk off a tennis court or golf course, play feels good. But, as Heintz highlights, scientists are beginning to look deeper than that.

The goal of the Ph.D. candidate’s study in Gombe is to determine if the stress-reducing element of play helps chimpanzee development, resulting in lower stress in adulthood and improved dominance and reproductive success. In a nutshell—Heintz is trying to determine if the best players are also the best chimpanzees.

It’s presently unsound to extrapolate that theory to ourselves, of course, but intriguing nonetheless. For, as Lonsdorf explains, play reaches its pinnacle in humans. Game on.

wild file

Head to the wild to see the red wolf release!

See a photo journal produced by Veterinarian Owen Slater, D.V.M., at www.lpzoo.org/magazine.

Left-to-right: Four pups from the new red wolf litter at the Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo were reintroduced to the wild to help boost this critically endangered population. Curator Diane Mulkerin and Veterinarian Owen Slater, D.V.M., transported the wolves to North Carolina, where researchers from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (pictured) used radio tracking to locate dens and transferred the wolves to their new homes.

Pups in the Pack The red wolf pack at the Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo saw a welcome addition in late April with the birth of six pups. The new pups were the second litter for the zoo’s pair, which had a breeding recommendation from the Red Wolf Species Survival Plan® (SSP), which manages population planning for this critically endangered species.

While each new red wolf marks an important step toward recovery, this litter played a special role in red wolf conservation, as four of the pups were “fostered” to wild parents in North Carolina to boost the wild population. “Placing zoo-born pups in the wild population has let this endangered species grow and maintain genetic diversity,” says Curator Diane Mulkerin, who managed the initiative and also accompanied the pups to their new home.

A week after birth, one male and three females were selected for release to the wild. The early move was driven by red wolf biology— new pups have to be introduced at a very young age to be accepted by their “foster” mothers.

The animals were implanted with microchips to enable identification and flown with animal-care staff to North Carolina. There, members of the Red Wolf Recovery Project, a collaborative conservation effort by the Red Wolf SSP and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, placed the pups in their new homes.

“It was rewarding to help boost such an endangered species in the wild,” says Veterinarian Owen Slater, D.V.M., who also accompanied the wolves on their trip. Red wolves are one of the most

endangered canine species, with their numbers declining through the 1960s due to habitat loss and predator-control programs. The current population is descended from 14 founders rescued from the wild after the species was declared endangered in 1973.

Reintroduction programs in Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge began in 1987, and there are now more than 100 wolves in the wild.

Zoo populations have played a crucial part in the recovery, and the remaining pups in the pack—two males—will play a key role in future population planning. In the meantime, visitors can come to see them as they grow, play and growl, natural symbols of the strength of recovery.

Titis Twined Together The first of the zoo’s spring arrivals was a Bolivian gray titi monkey born in the Helen Brach Primate House in early April.

This new arrival—whose gender awaits the outcome of a veterinary exam in early summer—was the seventh offspring for the zoo’s prolific pair, managed under the auspices of an Association of Zoos and Aquariums Population Management Plan.

The young primate was a big hit, with mom, dad and two older siblings vying to carry the new arrival on their backs throughout their exhibit. Visitors were able to see the little titi climbing on its carriers, moving around the larger monkeys’ bodies. Now the young monkey is beginning to explore the exhibit on its own, although mom and dad remain in near-constant contact.

Left-to-right: An infant titi monkey at the Helen Brach Primate House spent the first months of its life perched on mom and dad. The adult kookaburras at the McCormick Bird House hatched the first clutch of chicks in April.

(The novelty of bearing a baby quickly wore off for the older siblings.)

Native to the rain forests of Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil, Bolivian gray titi monkeys are common but face potential declines due to habitat loss. The species is noted for the tendency of families to twine their tails in the treetops as they rest, a social behavior that reinforces the group bond. “We’re happy to have another tail to add to the mix,” says Assistant Curator of Primates Maureen Leahy.

A Clutch of Kookaburras The McCormick Bird House has been raucous of late, with peals of laughter echoing through the building’s darkened hallways. Is it schoolkids marveling at the brilliant beak of the Blythe’s hornbill? Keepers sharing the latest ornithological joke? No, it’s the namesake noise of the Bird House’s laughing kookaburra family, which now stands at five members following the hatching of three chicks in April—the first for Lincoln Park Zoo. “They’re called laughing kookaburras for a reason—you can hear them all over the building!” says Hope B. McCormick Curator of Birds Colleen Lynch. The convivial chatter has increased since the birds first left the nest around Memorial Day. Before that, the chicks were raised by their first-time parents, who tirelessly traded off sitting on the nest and flying off for food provided by keepers.

(Keepers also weighed the chicks a couple times a week to monitor their health.)

Mealtime for the Australian birds consists of mice, crickets and mealworms. Smaller mice are provided for the chicks’ meals, with the parents prepping them for digestibility by battering the dead rodents against the sturdier branches of their exhibit. This behavior is taken from the forests of Australia, where kookaburras are known to take down prey that’s relatively large for their size and thus need to “tenderize” it some before it’s ready to eat.

While keepers have provided an unlimited diet to ensure plenty of calories for the new arrivals, they’ve been pleasantly surprised to see that the new parents haven’t packed on any excess pounds themselves. “It’s all of the effort involved in raising the chicks,” says Lynch. “Three chicks is a big clutch for kookaburras, but they’re being the most excellent parents they can be.”

news of the zoo

Left-to-right: To conserve endangered eastern massasauga rattlesnakes, zoo staff, including Lisa Faust, Ph.D., (center), are working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Conservation efforts include capturing snakes in Illinois for a recovery effort as well as studying healthy massasauga populations in Michigan.

Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake Rescue Efforts In Illinois, the eastern massasauga rattlesnake is quickly slithering toward extinction. Wildlife authorities have concluded the dire situation requires immediate action to help the last remaining snakes in northeastern Illinois avoid local extinction.

The US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and Lincoln Park Zoo have united to conserve this species through capture and recovery efforts.

“Considerable scientific data indicate eastern massasauga rattlesnakes will vanish forever if the remaining snakes aren’t found.

This is an emergency situation, and we must act now,” says Joe Kath, IDNR endangered species project manager.

This subspecies—one of three distinct genetic populations— has declined significantly throughout their range due to habitat loss, persecution and collection for the illegal pet trade. The goal of the recovery effort is to locate the last remaining snakes in northeastern Illinois and place them in appropriate propagation facilities, including Lincoln Park Zoo, in an effort to bolster the population and ensure the species’ long-term survival. The long-term goal is to increase their numbers, secure local habitat and eventually reintroduce them to the wild.

“Substantial evidence suggests the Chicago-area population has reached critically low numbers and is unlikely to recover to a sustainable level in the wild under existing conditions. Drastic action is needed now if we are to salvage this unique genetic group of eastern massasauga,” says Michael Redmer, a herpetologist at the USFWS Chicago Field Office.

“Sadly there are very few snakes left, and we have an ethical obligation to conserve them,” says Joanne Earnhardt, Ph.D., director of Lincoln Park Zoo’s Alexander Center for Applied Population Biology. Earnhardt plays a key role in the program, serving as the 12 LINCOLN PARK ZOO

Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake Species Survival Plan® (SSP) coordinator and acting as a member of the recovery team.

In addition to local recovery efforts underway in northeastern Illinois, Lincoln Park Zoo is spearheading a five-year SSP study of a key population at Michigan’s Big Rock Valley, headquarters of the Edward Lowe Foundation. Michigan is thought to be the last state with a healthy massasauga population, and the study launched in early May. “The goal of the study is to locate as many rattlesnakes as possible and follow them over several years,” says Earnhardt.

Earnhardt noted that many of the existing studies on massasaugas have been focused on behavior or habitat. “In contrast, a longitudinal study that follows individual snakes will give us a better idea about survival and reproduction rates.”

Rhino Yard Renovation An expansion of the rhinoceros yard at Regenstein African Journey was completed in May, and the burly residents began exploring their new home shortly thereafter. The new outdoor facility includes three interconnected yards that offer privacy should a rhino grow shy, a wallow should they want to cool down and a protected station from which keepers can perform enrichment. Barriers were also reinforced to protect animals and staff.

Inside, expanded quarters contain new holding spaces and even an industrial-size shower. New chutes connect all sections, making the transfer of the big animals a literal walk in the park. The project was funded by a $1 million donation from Caryn and King Harris and their family. Caryn has been a member of the Board of Directors since 1991, and she and her husband have generously supported the zoo since 1979.

The renovated yard highlights a comprehensive effort on behalf of this endangered species, incorporating research, conservation

and education. While the rhinos enjoy more room to roam, the new design will boost efforts to understand the zoo’s rhinos, enhancing conservation in the wild. “By studying physiology, reproduction, stress and behavior under controlled conditions, we’ll be able to apply the results to better manage wild populations in South Africa,” says Senior Vice President of Conservation Programs Steve Thompson, Ph.D. The rhinos aren’t the only ones growing accustomed to the new digs. Regenstein African Journey staff are continuously being trained on using the new system of chutes that connect the indoor and outdoor holding areas.

“We’re excited about this new emphasis,” says Zoological Manager of Large Mammals Mark Kamhout, who worked with architects and engineers in the design. “The expanded space gives us a great platform to conserve these endangered animals.”

To inform visitors of these efforts, the zoo unveiled an education program to match the new exhibit. New Digs for Rhinos examines Lincoln Park Zoo’s role in rhino conservation efforts around the world, focusing on our plans for breeding endangered black rhinos.

It’s a free program for the general public, hosted at the rhinoceros exhibit throughout the summer, daily at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Opportunistic Hunters In May, Supervisor of Behavioral and Cognitive Research Steve Ross published a paper titled “Interactions Between Zoo-Housed Great Apes and Local Wildlife,” on which he collaborated with Elizabeth Lonsdorf, Ph.D., director of the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes, and Andrea Holmes, a former research intern at the Fisher Center.

The study focuses on how chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos hunt birds, squirrels, rabbits and other creatures that

enter their exhibits. Ross collected data from 71 zoos across the country, finding that all four great ape species hunt to varying degrees within their exhibits. This is not surprising for chimpanzees, orangutans and bonobos, which are known to hunt to varying degrees in the wild, but it is unusual to see with gorillas, which aren’t known as hunters. Lincoln Park Zoo’s gorillas didn’t exhibit any hunting behavior, Ross explained, but the chimpanzees are often seen chasing and catching local squirrels and rabbits.

Information gleaned from this study can help researchers understand the hunting habits of wild apes, which are often hard to monitor.

Events Highlights As in nature, spring is a busy time at Lincoln Park Zoo. •The Science Celebration, hosted by the Women’s Board and held at Café Brauer on Earth Day (April 22) was another success, thanks to the bright students who presented their research projects and sponsors Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America Inc. and University of Phoenix.

•Spring Benefit—Moonlight Migration, held on May 29, compelled hundreds of partygoers to migrate to the zoo, raising funds for the Auxiliary Board Endowed Fund for Conservation.

•The United Run for the Zoo, held on June 7, invited fit and fun-loving zoo fans to run through the grounds. Sponsors included United Airlines, New Balance Chicago, Saint Joseph Hospital, Lifeway and Starfruit.

•The annual concert series Jammin’ at the Zoo is thrilling rock fans on the zoo’s South Lawn, thanks in part to sponsors The MIX 101.9FM, Mirassou Winery, Bud Light, Pepsi, United Airlines and Calihan.

Annual Report

Conservation and Science Hosting an international conference to enhance reintroduction programs worldwide. Launching a new center to minimize conflict between humans and urban wildlife. Receiving prestigious grants to analyze zoo population planning and the mostefficient way to distribute conservation resources. These efforts are among Lincoln Park Zoo’s many achievements in conservation during the past fiscal year.

The programs kicked off with the International Wildlife Reintroduction Conference, held at the zoo in April 2008 under the sponsorship of Lincoln Park Zoo and the World Conservation Union, with support from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, United Arab Emirates, Defenders of Wildlife, San Diego Zoo, Denver Zoo and Turner Endangered Species Fund.

Organized by Joanne Earnhardt, Ph.D., director of the Alexander Center for Applied Population Biology, the conference drew more than 200 scientists from more than 30 countries for the first international meeting dedicated to the science of reintroducing species to the wild.

Unveiled at the International Wildlife Reintroduction Conference was the Avian Reintroduction and Translocation Database, a population-biology tool developed by the zoo’s Alexander Center for Applied Population Biology to provide bird researchers with the latest data on winged species that have been reintroduced to the wild.

This online resource, led by Earnhardt, will help conservation biologists learn from the past to plan for the future.

Another new zoo conservation initiative was the inception of the Urban Wildlife Institute, directed by Eric Lonsdorf, Ph.D. This conservation center, funded by a generous grant from longtime zoo supporter the Davee Foundation, will serve as a model for minimizing human-wildlife conflict in an urban setting. The institute is in the process of recruiting conservation collaborators and conducting baseline ecological research in the Chicago area.

A number of conservation programs received prestigious funding in the past year. Research Biologist Lisa Faust, Ph.D., received a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to evaluate the cooperative animal-breeding programs shared by zoos across the country. Her three-year study will analyze the outcome of thousands of breeding recommendations, ensuring that scientists are safeguarding the populations in their care.

Carson Murray, Ph.D., a post-doctoral research fellow with the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes, received a five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health to study mother-infant relationships in chimpanzees in Tanzania’s Gombe National Park. Her study will pair modern lab methods with decades of behavioral observations, offering an unprecedented look into maternal stress and its impact on offspring development.

In the Urban Wildlife Institute, Sarah Keenan Jacobi, Ph.D., was awarded a Smith Fellowship from the Society for Conservation

Biology and the Cedar Tree Foundation, the nation’s premier conservation biology post-doctoral program. Jacobi will use her background in environmental engineering to adapt computer programs designed to maximize business efficiency toward conservation ends, ensuring the most-effective use of scarce resources.

In addition to systematic research, the zoo’s scientists continued to advance the conservation of zoo species. Scientists in the Nutrition Center and the Davee Center for Epidemiology and Endocrinology studied the role of diet in the health of endangered black-footed ferrets. Davee Center Endocrinologist Rachel Santymire, Ph.D., also launched a study to characterize the reproductive and stress biology of some of the zoo’s amphibian species, a welcome boost for a group facing a worldwide crisis.

All of these new efforts were boosted by continued—and collaborative—efforts to lead population planning in zoos across the country, research ape cognition and tool-use, monitor for zoonotic diseases and conserve wild populations in the Serengeti ecosystem, Gombe National Park, Africa’s Goualougo Triangle region and Tanzania’s Tarangire National Park. The last project brought distinction in the past fiscal year, as Lincoln Park Zoo received the 2008 Association of Zoos and Aquariums Significant Achievement Award for International Conservation for providing critical support to the Tarangire Elephant Project in Tanzania. This honor reflects the zoo’s continuing commitment to conservation.

SUMMER 2009 15

Education If you stop by the Judy Keller Education Center, you might not immediately notice anything different, but stick around long enough, and you’ll hear a buzz.

Fresh faces. Exciting plans. Inspiring programs. Great things are happening in Education at Lincoln Park Zoo. Over the past year, Education staff and programs were reorganized to better serve the zoo’s diverse audiences. The department is now lead by Vice President of Education Rachel Bergren, Director of Guest Engagement and Public Programs Jessica Monahan and one of the zoo’s most-recent hires, Leah Melber, Ph.D., director of student and teacher programs. Backed by a creative and committed team of professional educators and volunteers, this group is ready to engage and inform.

In addition to getting geared-up for new initiatives, the zoo’s educators have been busy enhancing a number of existing programs. In early 2008, the Zoocology program earned a significant grant extension from Polk Bros. Foundation. This support will allow the zoo to provide two additional years of teacher professional development, zoo-based classroom experiences and field trips to the zoo for some 140 teachers and 2,800 students (pre-kindergarten–third grade) at 20 Chicago Public Schools.

Educational initiatives played an important role at a number of zoo-wide events this past year, including SuperZooPicnic, Spooky Zoo Spectacular, Zoo Lights and the Auxiliary Board Family Event. Look for more fun and engaging educational activities at future Lincoln Park Zoo events!

Last spring, the zoo launched a new public-education program, Exploring Ape Behavior, at Regenstein Center for African Apes. This 75-minute interactive session introduces participants to the science of deciphering ape behavior. It also cultivates a better understanding of the goals of Lincoln Park Zoo scientists as they observe the apes. Developed by educators and scientists at the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes, this program demonstrates the zoo’s multi-disciplinary approach to education. Now in its second year, Exploring Ape Behavior received support from the Institute for Museum and Library Services and The Field Foundation of Illinois.

Summer is rapidly approaching, and education will be at the center of the season’s activity. Conservation Camp launches in mid-June, and by summer’s end, more than 550 campers will have explored every corner of the zoo. Many are returning campers from last year’s successful session. New this year: twenty-four deserving campers earned full and partial scholarships through generous support from HSBC–North America.

Beyond camp, summer visitors to Lincoln Park Zoo will enjoy a number of new, interactive programs delivered by Education staff members at key animal exhibits throughout the park, including the African wild dog exhibit, Regenstein Center for African Apes, the Kovler Sea Lion Pool and the newly renovated black rhino habitat. Ample work has gone into preparing these initiatives over the past fiscal year. Summer visitors will reap the rewards.

From Zoocology field trips to Conservation Camps, Lincoln Park Zoo continued to find new ways to educate and engage visitors.

Collections At the center of everything that takes place at Lincoln Park Zoo are the animals—the winged, furry and scaly creatures that delight and educate visitors while serving as ambassadors for their wild cousins.

New Grevy’s zebras enlivened the Antelope & Zebra Area in May and June. The addition of three new black-and-whites was made in the hope of breeding this species—per recommendation from the Grevy’s Zebra Species Survival Plan®—for the first time in several years at Lincoln Park Zoo. A few yards away, two new red kangaroos joined the existing mob.

Sugar gliders—a marsupial species similar to flying squirrels— were added to the collection at Regenstein Small Mammal-Reptile House in June. Not long after, three caiman lizards joined the South American exhibit in the Ecosystem and a scheltopusik (European glass lizard) was added to the Reptile Gallery.

In the Waterfowl Lagoon, the appearance of flamingo eggs in June and July excited staff and guests. It was the first time the tall birds had produced eggs at the zoo, the result of long-term efforts to provide them comfortable conditions that would prompt breeding. While none of the eggs produced chicks, the simple fact that they were laid was an encouraging sign.

Nearby in the Hope B. McCormick Swan Pond, the trumpeter swan pair produced yet another chick in the summer of 2008, which stayed with stately mom and dad until it was transferred to the wild-reintroduction program, where 34 other Lincoln Park Zoo trumpeter swans have been sent.

Chimpanzee Keo celebrated his 50th birthday with a very public party at Regenstein Center for African Apes in June. A 600-

pound fruit-and-ice cake was presented to him, which he and troop mates promptly gobbled. Guests delighted in the unusual form of stimulation and local news outlets broadcast the fun to fans throughout the city.

Guam Micronesian kingfisher chicks hatched in July at the McCormick Bird House. A few weeks later, the house welcomed lesser green broadbill chicks. Nearby at the Kovler Penguin/ Seabird House, two rockhopper penguin chicks appeared in their rocky nests and a hatchling common murre began splashing through its exhibit.

At the Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo, where kids scamper through the trails and climb through the heavens, new wood turtles splashed through the wet exhibit that also houses Blanding’s, painted and spotted turtles.

In February, a new red panda arrived at the Kovler Lion House.

Zoo staff hope he will eventually mate with the new female that will be housed near him this summer. Actual introductions will take place in the winter, which is the red panda’s breeding season.

A month later, a new snow leopard arrived in Chicago. The young male continually impresses keepers and visitors with his incredible leaping ability.

Finally, a male Francois’ langur was born at the Helen Brach Primate House in February. His orange hair made him easy to spot while nestled up against mom’s black fur. That little one followed the Allen’s swamp monkey born a few months earlier, who proved that youngsters of this species are even more rambunctious than their elders.

SUMMER 2009 17

Lincoln Park Zoo’s renovation of historic Carlson Cottage received a Chicago Landmark Award for Preservation Excellence.

Facilities Though the construction boom of the past decade has slowed at Lincoln Park Zoo, exciting Facilities projects were underway in the past fiscal year.

Renovation of historic Carlson Cottage was completed in April 2008. The building serves as home base for the zoo’s volunteer-gardening corps. Interactive Design Inc., which designed the facility in coordination with former Vice President of Facilities Neal David, was recognized with an award from the Western Red Cedar Association (a non-profit trade association) and honored with a Chicago Landmark Award for Preservation Excellence for noteworthy restoration.

“Carlson Cottage is an excellent example of Victorian-era design based on medieval and vernacular precedents with its massive stone-and-red-brick walls, roundarched entrance and multi-hip roof,” says David. “It exemplifies the significance of Lincoln Park as one of the city’s oldest and most prominent parks.”

An expansion of the rhinoceros yard at Regenstein African Journey was completed in spring 2009. The six-month project, funded in part by a generous donation from Caryn and King Harris

and their family, entailed construction of new barriers surrounding the yard, new transfer chutes to enable easy moves between areas and a wallow in which the thick-skinned animals can chill out. The space was more than doubled after renovation, providing enough room for calves should the pair breed.

A new interactive was installed in April 2009 at the Farm-inthe-Zoo Presented by John Deere. The focus of Soybeans: Growing Food, Growing World is domestic soybean farming and distribution throughout the world. The fun and educational display was funded by the Illinois Soybean Association and provides wee visitors to the Main Barn a mentally stimulating break from the climbing interactive elements nearby.

Finally, the South Pond began its transformation into the Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo. The pond was drained throughout the spring, enabling construction to begin in June. The Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo Campaign progressed with $9.4 million raised to date, including a very generous $2 million pledge from the Women’s Board. The new urban oasis is slated to be completed in spring 2010.

Fundraising The Auxiliary Board continued to raise funds toward its $1 million pledge to the Fund for Conservation & Science, which supports diverse programs in conservation and science. In Fiscal Year 2009, the Board hosted three fundraising events—Spring Benefit in early June, Hot Winter Night in January and Family Event in February—raising approximately $60,000 for the zoo. In addition to fundraising events, the Board also hosted Spooky Zoo Spectacular in October, a free community event providing a safe, fun and educational Halloween experience for children.

In Fiscal Year 2009, the Women’s Board completed a $1 million pledge to establish The Women’s Board Fund for Capital Projects and followed that up by committing to raise $2 million for the creation of the Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo. The Women’s Board is responsible for the zoo’s largest, and most successful, fundraiser, Zoo Ball, which raised more than $575,000 in 2008. The Women’s Board also hosted the Fourth Annual “Build & Grow” Science and Project Fair on Earth Day. The fair provided a forum for local students to display science projects conducted at the zoo and in the classroom.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Lincoln Park Zoo would like to once again thank our donors, members and visitors for their generous support this year.

Because of challenging economic conditions, the zoo was unable to use $1.1 million of its endowment earnings originally budgeted for operations.

Through the hard work and dedication of the Board of Directors, management and staff, processes were streamlined, sacrifices were made and expense-saving measures were quickly employed to save more than $500,000, thus mitigating the impact.

Lincoln Park Zoo is in an excellent position to continue to create lifelong memories for our visitors while remaining a diligent steward of your gifts.
