Zoo Pride volunteer Matthew Grulke was featured on CBS 58’s “Making Milwaukee Great” series. Grulke, who has Down’s syndrome, shreds paper that’s used as bedding and enrichment “toys” for the Zoo’s great apes. “It’s important to give back to your community,” says Grulke. Zoo Pride, the Zoological Society’s volunteer auxiliary, celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2010.
What’s it like to care for the Zoo’s lions and tigers? Our publications intern shadowed the Milwaukee County Zoo’s big-cat keepers and wrote this first-hand account of a truly “wild” job.

Sequoia, the cute new California sea lion pup in the Milwaukee County Zoo’s Oceans of Fun pool, could win a “beautiful baby” contest. Check out this photo slide show to see her bonding with Mom, playing with enrichment “toys” and even learning to swim!
What was the Zoo like in 1951, 1963, 1978? For the first time, Zoological Society archives are online. Read publications going back 60 years. Great for school projects! You also can view recent issues of Alive and Wild Things.
