We really don't fully appreciate what an amazing zoo we have here. We're still one of a handful of zoos in the United States with a pair of giant pandas. We have the relatively new Northwest Passage exhibit with polar bears and coming soon with be the Yukon Trek exhibit. If you haven't been to the zoo recently you need to do so.
In other great news coming out of the zoo, it was recently announced that folks at the zoo have successfully breeded an endangered frog. Frogs might not be as sexy as eagles or condors or even pandas but they are a trip wire in nature. As an amphibian they are one of the first to show the harmful effects of water pollution. Frogs are vitally important to our ecosystem. So the work being done at the Memphis Zoo is really important.
