On March 4, the San Antonio Zoo celebrated a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new eagle habitat, which gave the zoo's two Bald eagles a new home. The eagles were rescued, rehabilitated, and serve as ambassadors for their species. Chinook, the male eagle, was injured near an airport in Washington state, and Haley, the female eagle, was found shot in Ohio.
The zoo has a long history of conducting conservation projects worldwide, and more information can be found at https://sazoo.org/zoo-conservation-efforts/.
