Columbus Zoo: Behind the Scenes 2009

Through the efforts of friends, we were able to arrange a behind-the-scenes tour of the Columbus Zoo. We expected about an hour in the primates area because the Columbus Zoo is well known for its work with primates.

In addition, we were given a close look at the pachyderm building and a baby elephant; and the promotions building, we met some of the animals that have gone with zoo director emeritus Jack Hanna on television tours.

Photography was restricted in the primates area to avoid upsetting the gorillas, but less restricted in the pachyderm building and in the promotions building.
