The Memphis Zoo, Ya Ya and Le Le are trademarks of the Memphis Zoo. On Memorial Day weekend, the Memphis Zoo celebrated its 100th birthday. Many of you joined us for events that marked this important milestone. Zoom Through the Zoo was a great success with over 500 race-day participants, thousands enjoyed Zoo Grass and birthday cake, and Zoo members swam in the Nile River while listening to The Bouffants. The holiday 16 weekend culminated on Monday with a very special appear- ance from Spider-Man. These events were a wonderful way to commemorate the past 100 years. The biggest thing the Zoo has done to mark the occasion of our 100th anniversary is to open our newest exhibit, North- west Passage. This exhibit has been seen by over half a million visitors, and its opening is the culmination of a decade worth of planning, fundraising, and anticipation to provide a state- of-the-art home for some of the Zoo’s most beloved animals. In May the Zoo announced plans to build its next two exhibits by the end of the decade. The first exhibit to open, Teton Trek, is made possible thanks to a $10 million contribu- tion by Fred and Diane Smith and the Smith family. It will showcase the animals, culture and landscape of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem. The second exhibit, Zambezi River Hippo Camp, will trans- DEPARTMENTS: port Zoo visitors to central Africa with new exhibits for hippos, Nile crocodiles and other wildlife of the region. 14New to Zoo This issue of Exzooberance will highlight these two forth- coming projects and honor those who made our Zoo the world-class institution it is today. 16 Special Events By supporting the Memphis Zoo, you are contributing to one of the greatest cultural and educational institutions 17 Education Programs in our region.

The Aldabra tortoises are found on the Aldabra Atoll in the Indian Ocean. About 100,000 of them live in the swamps, dunes and grasslands of the islands. While the new Aldabra tortoises will only be on exhibit during the warm months of the year, Zoo visitors and members will get an up-close look at them. Keeper chats at designated times will included a supervised, personal encounter with the tortoises inside the enclosure. The exhibit is expected to open late this summer.
