5 6 South American Rainforest Construction continued on the Zoo’s M&T Bank Rainforest Falls. Affectionately known as the “crown jewel” of Phase One of the Zoo’s master RENOVATIONS plan, the $16 million fully-enclosed rainforest exhibit is designed to be a memorable and educational experience unlike any other in Western New York. M&T Bank Rainforest Falls is modeled after the tepui region of Venezuela, AND UPCOMING which is home to Canaima National Park and Angel Falls—the world’s tallest waterfall. A variety of South American species will be housed in the 18,000 square foot rainforest, including ocelot, giant anteater, tamandua, capybara, EXHIBITS dwarf caiman, vampire bat, anaconda, piranha, squirrel monkey, brown capuchin, black howler monkey and white-faced saki. Visitors will also be able to spot dozens of free-flighted bird species, including the scarlet ibis, roseate spoonbill, boat-billed heron, sun bittern and blue-crowned motmot. The exhibit’s “visitors’ center” will support the Zoo’s mission of conservation and education through games, sounds, lift and drop signage (with key words in both English and Spanish!) and touchable models. This new exhibit opened in the fall of 2008.

Elephant House Built in 1912, the Zoo’s Elephant House is a fine example of classic zoo architecture, but the facility’s interior holding area fell short of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) updated regulations by 150 square feet. While the building’s exterior did not undergo any major changes, the interior was redesigned to increase the holding area from the current 1,050 square feet to 1,800 square feet, which is well above the new standard of 1,200 square feet to house three female Asian elephants. The estimated cost of the project was approximately $1 million, and thanks to the generosity of the Margaret L. Wendt Foundation and members of the Western New York community, who supported the “I Love Elephants” campaign, the Zoo met its financial goal for the Elephant House and was re- accredited by the AZA for another four years. Renovations were completed over the spring and summer of 2008.

Veterinary Hospital In addition to securing funding for the renovation of the Elephant House, the Buffalo Zoo was also required to raise money for the expansion of the veterinary hospital to maintain its accreditation with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Named after the long-time Zoo veterinarian who also helped establish The Western New York Veterinary Medical Association, the Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society and the Buffalo Academy of Veterinary Medicine, the Frank E. McClelland, Sr. Veterinary Hospital was built in 1967. At that time, it was considered to be one of the finest veterinary facilities in the country. To meet the updated standards recently developed by the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians (AAZV), the Buffalo Zoo needed to increase the hospital’s quarantine space and add an aseptic surgical suite, as well as an air han- dling system to reduce the spread of infectious disease. The renovations, which are estimated to cost approximately $1.5 million, will expand the Hospital by 2,300 square feet. In addition to doubling the size of the Hospital’s laboratory facilities, the renovations will also triple the amount of available quarantine space. Separate areas for animal preparation, surgeon’s scrub and post-operative recovery will also be established. Thanks to a challenge grant from Peter Vogt and the Vogt Family Foundation, the active participation of many local veterinarians, their prac- tices and clients, and several grants from corporations and foundations, the Zoo was able to move forward with the expansion project. Work began in the fall of 2008. 7 8 "Gauging Bite Strength at Different Gapes of Research and Conservation Lions and Tigers" Frank Mendel, Ph.D., SUNY Buffalo Department of Anatomy

Fluid-filled, gauged, puncture proof, non-toxic hoses of different diameters were presented to lions and tigers in order to gauge their bite strength. Refinements of the puncture proof devices were accomplished in 2008. Data collected will be applied to extinct sabertoothed cats.

"Olfactory Enrichment for Ring-Tailed Lemurs at the Buffalo Zoo" Katie Struck, SUNY at Buffalo

The study tests the effect of scents on the behavior of ring-tailed lemurs. The study continued into 2008 so a statistically significant number of samples could be obtained.

"Pregnancy Diagnosis Through Urine Hormone Analysis in Giraffes" Janine Brown, Nichole Abbondanza, National Zoological Park Conservation and Research Center; Gerald Aquilina, Vicki Hodge, Buffalo Zoo

The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if pregnancies in giraffes can be accurately diagnosed through urine hormone levels. Data collection continued in 2008 with the pregnancy and delivery of a female calf.

The presentation of the Mentoring Young Scientists program at the AZA conference was the concluding activity of a multi-year federal grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) that funded the development, implementation, documentation and dissemination of this after-school style program. The education department also continued to be a partner in the Buffalo Public School’s three-year “Math and Science Partnership Program” grant. This federal formula grant program is intended to increase the academic achievement of students in mathematics and science by enhancing the content knowledge and teaching skills of Signage in M&T Bank Rainforest classroom teachers.
