I’m grateful for the support that all of the Zoo community has given to the Board of Trustees this past year, and so sad for the painful loss of our beloved Zoo Director, Mary Healy. Mary was not only a cherished colleague in our shared love of the Zoo, but a loyal and valued friend. Of course we have to move on, but that doesn’t mean we will soon forget her untimely passing. I personally want to thank all of you who have generously offered gifts in Mary’s memory, and I assure you that they will be put to a use that would please her.

As we move on, I want to give a special thanks to Dr. Adrian Fowler who has graciously assumed the role of acting director in the interim as we move forward with a search for Mary’s successor.

As in past years, the Zoo has had an excellent year in no small part due to the dedication and hard work of the staff, docents and volunteers.

As for myself, I am in no way leaving the zoo community. My term as Board President ended in December 2014, but my affection for the Zoo is as deeply held as it was when I first greater joined the Zoo Board many years ago. I’ll always be grateful roadrunner that you’ve given me this wonderful opportunity to serve you.

Thank you,

“Great people like Mary and Murray have inspired new generations to do great things. And they’re all here, making Sacramento Zoo board a leader among America’s small zoos.” president MESSAGE FROM THE 2014 brought a year of highs and lows for Sacramento Zoo. Mary Healy was very much the face of the Zoo, and her presence is felt everywhere. From Tall Wonders BOARD PRESIDENT to Small Wonders, Mary’s vision is with us all. I share the sentiments of our Board President that her loss is immeasurable. Dr. Adrian Fowler, Interim Director It has been a privilege to continue Mary’s work, but it would not have been possible without the support and dedication of the Zoo’s professional staff. It has 2014 BOARD OF TRUSTEES been a difficult year indeed.

James Naify, President As if Mary’s passing was not enough heartache for one year, we also lost another Jeff Raimundo, Vice President great friend who called Sacramento Zoo his home. Charles Dalldorf, Secretary Small Wonders of Africa Kevin Barri, Treasurer Like many kids, I had great aspirations of Starr Walton Hurley, Past President working with animals. As a youngster in Mary Healy, Zoo Director/CEO Britain, I had dreams of one day packing Dr. Adrian Fowler, Acting Director my bags and working with wildlife out in the bush. Not content with the Rebecca Bitter conventional reading for a twelve-year- Michael Broughton old, my Christmas wish list included the Nancy E. Cole latest copy of Fowler’s Zoo & Wild Animal Jeffrey K. Dorso Medicine, hot off the press as the all-new, Murray E. Fowler, D.V.M. 2nd edition. Judy Goldbar Steven Johnson At that age, I knew very little of Dr. Murray E. Fowler. But as I grew up, it became Irwin Karp obvious to me that his name was synonymous with wildlife medicine. Wherever in C. Emmett Mahle the world wildlife professionals were working, they had Murray by their side – or at Lynn Matsuda least his textbook, widely regarded as the “bible” for zoo veterinarians. John W. Otto Linda L. Price Murray’s 8th edition of that same textbook now sits on my shelf here in Jason Russell, C.P.A. Sacramento. For thousands of wildlife professionals, our careers have been heavily Adham Sbeih influenced by the work and writing of the one individual whom we all consider Susan Schoenig to be the father of zoological medicine. Murray passed away on May 18, 2014, Elizabeth Stallard leaving a legacy that veterinarians will admire for many generations to come. Mike Testa Jill M.

Offering education opportunities to adults as well as children, the Zoo hosted engaging speakers on a variety of topics including conservation efforts for Red Pandas, giraffes and cheetahs; and rescue of oil-contaminated birds.

Facing another year of extreme water shortage, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services released a PSA showcasing how the Zoo has been proactive with water conservation efforts. Highlighted efforts included the use of water efficient lixit spigots for the animals, filtration and recirculation systems and drip irrigation. Further conserving water, a succulent garden was installed and watering times were reduced on sprinklers. Book Signing with Dr. Laurie Marker year in review 2014 was a year of transition in the Veterinary Department. The zoo community suffered a great loss with the death of Dr. Murray E. Fowler, and we are currently working with the UC Davis Library system to archive his extensive works and collections. In addition, the Zoo’s medical record system of over 45,000 records was updated to a more modern web-based system. In collaboration with the Wildlife Health Center at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, the Zoo’s veterinary staff continues to provide first-rate healthcare to every animal at the Zoo.

The Zoo proudly displayed a new playground structure, largely funded by the Sacramento King’s Foundation “SacramenTENs Assist” program. Children of all ages Boo at the Zoo and abilities are drawn to the creative design that includes two slides, a small climbing wall and sound game.

People are the heart of any nonprofit organization, and the Sacramento Zoological Society is no different. Staff and volunteers at the Zoo provide first-rate animal care while continually working to improve both the facility and the guest experience. In 2014, a group of 1,745 volunteers – including talented trustees, dedicated docents, terrific teens, capable Keeper Aides, gifted groundskeepers, and enthusiastic event helpers – donated 42,649 hours of expertise and hard work to the Zoo. We extend a sincere and heartfelt note of thanks to them all. Zoo Playground The Sacramento Zoological Society 2014 Annual Report

Other new additions to the Zoo included a Snow Leopard, Yellow-banded Poison Dart Frogs, tarantulas, adorable lion cubs, owl hatchlings and a Yellow-backed Duiker calf. Also making an appearance were Halloween aardvark Moon Crabs, a Desert Hairy Scorpion, Chuckwallas and Tokay Geckos. As always, the entire circle of life is represented at the Zoo, and hearts were heavy with the loss of several animals including Castro, the Sumatran Tiger.

Castro came to the Sacramento Zoo in 1999 and was diagnosed with lymphoma in February 2013. At 16 years of age, he was the oldest breeding male Sumatran Tiger in the United States. Castro sired five living offspring who, in turn, have produced five cubs to date. A critically endangered species, fewer than 500 Sumatran Tigers are believed to exist in the wild with 200 living in zoos around the world. Castro was a beloved favorite of staff and visitors alike and an awe-inspiring ambassador for his species. His red billed legacy will live on through his progeny. - hornbill
