2006-2007 ANNUAL REPORT

engaging people WITH THE WONDER OF THE LIVING WORLD

THROUGH personal encounters THAT FOSTER LIFELONG HARMONIOUS relationships with nature

4

Since 1876, The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, the nation’s third-oldest zoo, has been and remains

today a treasured asset of the local community, the state, and the region. Throughout the years,

the Zoo’s commitment to its animals, to its visitors, and to its work on behalf of wildlife worldwide

has never wavered.

Located on over 135 rolling, wooded acres in beautiful Druid Hill Park in northwest Baltimore,

the Zoo’s animal collection includes more than 1,500 birds, mammal, amphibians, and reptiles,

representing nearly 200 species. Visitors come from far and wide to view animals of Africa,

the Arctic, and Maryland displayed in naturalistic settings replicating their native habitats.

As the cultural institution with the greatest impact on families across a very broad spectrum of

incomes and backgrounds, the Zoo’s main goals of entertainment, education, and conservation

are implemented through a wide variety of activities, programming, and conservation initiatives,

all available to the public. We strive to provide our guests with an inspiring, firsthand wildlife

experience, to offer engaging environmental education to students of all ages, and to supply

hands-on support to conservation efforts both locally and globally.

Come see us soon!

Letter from the Chairman

The other day I had a wonderful experience at the Zoo with Dolly and Anna, our two elephants, and I was reminded yet againwhat a special resource our Zoo is for the residents and visitors of Maryland and the region.

Two very important events took place in the past year that had a profound effect on our Zoo. The first was that all three of ourmajor public funders – the State of Maryland, Baltimore City, and Baltimore County – significantly increased their operational andcapital support of the Zoo in fiscal year 2007 and for fiscal year 2008.

The Zoo is a classic public/private partnership, but for many years the public portion of our income grew very slowly. We dependedheavily on private giving and operational income – principally ticket income. The result was that our budget really could not sustainour historic campus or the programs that had been offered by the Zoo for many years. Over time our physical plant deteriorated badly,and our programming had to be greatly reduced. We struggled financially, despite raising ticket prices substantially.

Please join me in thanking and congratulating our public officials, who realized our financial position was untenable and tookaction to support your Zoo. We have undertaken a substantial rebalance of our financial position and are now at the beginning of arebuilding and renewal phase. Challenges remain, but our financial situation is much healthier than it was a year ago.

The second major event to occur was that Billie Grieb announced she will leave her position as president in December. She is tooyoung to “retire,” but that is essentially what she is doing, to spend some well-deserved time with her family.

Billie became president of the Zoo five years ago after a successful law career. Prior to accepting the position, she had been a long-timeZoo trustee, and it became her mission to save the Zoo. She had many difficult decisions to make, and the challenges were both greatand unrelenting, but she put the Zoo on a course of renewal that culminated in this year’s significant increase in public funding.

Billie has worked tirelessly and creatively on behalf of the Zoo. Although major challenges do lie ahead, Billie leaves having putthe Zoo on a healthy, new course and on a sound financial footing. On behalf of all the Trustees of the Maryland Zoological Societyand of the citizens of Maryland, I thank her for a job well done.

Letter from the President

It is always a pleasure to acknowledge and thank the many individuals and organizations who contribute to the Zoo’s success. This Annual Report is devoted principally to donors who have supported the Zoo during the past year, but it also gives us anopportunity to profile some of the people who make contributions of their time, passion, and dedication to the Zoo’s mission. I hope you will enjoy getting to know these individuals as much as we have. Their stories are wonderful examples of the ability of people to make a difference in the world around them.

Each of the individuals profiled makes a unique contribution to the Zoo, but collectively, they are representative of many others.We are fortunate to have a staff and volunteer corps who are tireless in their devotion to the animals at the Zoo and the visitorswho come to see them. All are worthy of acknowledgment, but space limitations permit us to introduce only a few.

Our animal staff are not only experts in the field of animal care and behavior, but also committed conservationists who work forpreservation of wild habitats and sustainability of wild and captive populations throughout the world. They are the heroes of ourZoo world – the people who take care of the animals at the Zoo every day, but who also use time away from the Zoo to pursuefascinating personal interests, ranging from tracking maned wolves in Bolivia to helping build an amphibian rescue andrehabilitation center in Panama.

Our volunteers contribute thousands of hours annually to the Zoo. Their roles are amazingly diverse: they do everything fromassisting in the hand-rearing of baby chimpanzees to telling visitors everything there is to know about elephants’ teeth. Not onlydo they save the Zoo money by providing services, but also they enrich our institution through the knowledge they bring fromcareers and other experiences away from the Zoo.

Our educators meet the challenges of teaching outside the classroom with enthusiasm and professionalism. They enrich theexperience of a Zoo visit in ways that teachers and parents appreciate and students enjoy. Our outreach educators take our animalambassadors to students all over Maryland. The next time you see the Zoomobile on the highway, you will know that a group at apublic library or recreational center is in for a treat!

I often remind the people at the Zoo that each of us makes a unique and important contribution, and only together can we createthe exceptional Zoo experience we want to provide. Enjoy getting to know several of these wonderful contributors as you read on!

Tanya White takes care of bear necessities“I get accused sometimes by my familyand friends of caring more about animalsthan I do people,” says Animal KeeperTanya White, who got her start ten yearsago in the Maryland Wilderness exhibitand now spends her days tending to the

polar bears and the animals of the AfricanWatering Hole.

Finding a career as an animal keeper felt“almost coincidental – meant to be – waiting for me to stumble onto it.” Tanya started out in the Farmyard in theChildren’s Zoo nine years ago, and when a

keeper position in the Main Valley openedup two years later, Tanya jumped at thechance to work with “all my favoriteanimals” – tigers, black bears, and Junior,the Kodiak bear (“he was awesome!”).

As the Zoo evolved to geographiccollection areas, Tanya found herselfworking with our male polar bear,Magnet, and a year later, our female,Alaska. “I never thought about polarbears until I met Magnet, and I wasjust hooked.” Seven years into it, sheand Magnet have developed anespecially close relationship, just asfellow keeper Becky Lynagh has withAlaska. “Once he demonstrated ‘lipsmacking’ to me,” recalls Tanya, “whichis what he would do with Alaska. I didit right back!”

“Polar bears are very smart and havedefinite personalities,” says Tanya, as shedescribes her training routine withMagnet. Because of polar bears’ size, it ispreferable not to have to anesthetize them,

so Tanya has taught Magnet a series ofcommands–to open his mouth for toothcare, to present his paws, to stand on hishind legs, and to follow. “It’s justamazing to me that a 900-pound bearwill respond to cues I am giving him. It’s very humbling to work with them;they are so big.”

In a particularly thrilling adjunct to herwork at the Zoo, earlier this year Tanyaaccompanied Zoo vets and Department of Natural Resources staff to GarrettCounty in western Maryland to assist withthe annual black bear count. While theadult female bears were anesthetized forvet work, Tanya had the opportunity tohold the cubs and touch the mothers.Holding a two pound cub in her arms, “I was like floating!”

Hard work it definitely is, requiringdedication, stamina, and patience, but forTanya White, it’s exactly what she wantsto be doing. “You feel lucky that you havethis kind of job.”

Henry Bell, 45 years and counting

If there’s anything you want to know about the Zoo, ask Henry Bell. He’s been here since 1962.

When Henry began at the Zoo, straight out of school, “you learnedeverything – on a gradual basis.” He was a keeper by day and often anight watchman by night. “We didhoof trimming, we learned to catch the 22 foot python, we’d hose thewalks, shovel in winter, catch themonkeys for their TB tests.”

Continuing education took the form of“field trips,” with Henry and three ofhis co-workers driving – often throughthe night – to visit zoos all over thecountry, where they’d exchangeinformation on a variety of subjectssuch as diets and training methods.

The elephants and the bears were the big draw. Henry “did elephants” for 30 years. “We used to walk them around

the park” for exercise, take them intothe woods to eat leaves, and let thembathe in the fountain. It was Henry whowalked the elephants down through theZoo to their new elephant house. It wasa different world back then!

You learn a lot if you listen to Henry.He’ll tell you that back then RockIsland housed both mountain sheep andmonkeys. “They all got along good. Themonkeys used to ride the sheep’s horns.”People would spread their blankets onthe surrounding grass and picnic.

The people who worked at the Zoo“were close knit, like a family. You’dknow wives and children. You’d meetup at Christmas. There was a lot ofcommunity amongst everybody. Peoplestayed a long time,” until they retired.

Although the younger keepers like totease Henry that he was working at theZoo before they were even born, theiradmiration and reverence for him is

apparent. Employees from throughoutthe Zoo recently thronged to his highlyanticipated roping class, where Henrypatiently taught them his technique forcatching animals with a lasso. And try asthey might, no one could match him!

These days Henry is an integral part of the exhibitry team – “we help eachother” – making needed repairs to theZoo’s exhibits. After 45 years, Henry isstill happy at the Zoo, and we are morethan happy to have him. “It all dependson the people you work with.”

conservationCONSERVATION IS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THE ZOO’S MISSION,

AND MUCH OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT WORK ON BEHALF OF ANIMALS OCCURS OUT OF SIGHT OF OUR VISITORS.

• The Zoo proudly serves as theheadquarters for the Mountain GorillaVeterinary Project, one of the world’smost successful and innovativeconservation programs. Nowemploying eight veterinarians, MGVPstrives for a one health approach,providing not only life saving healthcare to the gorillas but administeringhealth programs to the conservationemployees that work in close contactwith the gorillas. Now celebrating itstwentieth year, MGVP was the firstwildlife health care project in theworld and remains one of the very fewthat treat individual clinical cases of awild population in its natural habitat.

• In an international cooperative effort tosave the highly endangered Panamaniangolden frog from imminent extinction,the Zoo has worked closely with ProjectGolden Frog as a founding partner since1999. The Zoo helped to construct theEl Valle Amphibian Conservation

Center in Panama where specimens aremaintained, in hopes of eventualreintroduction to the wild, and hasmade plans to begin an artificialbreeding program of in vitro fertilizationby which the genetically valuableanimals of our own collection cancontribute their genes to strengthen theremaining global population.

• The Zoo has maintained an affiliationwith the National Institutes of Healthand SANCCOB Rehab Center in SouthAfrica for over three decades to developnew diagnostic tests, treatments, andpreventions for avian malaria in the blackfooted (or African) penguin. This year theZoo helped validate a newly developedtest that will allow diagnosis of malariaquickly and easily without expensive andtime consuming procedures. Preliminarytesting showed very favorable results.Further testing will be done in the wildboth with penguins and with the apes ofcentral Africa.

• Locally, as it has done for years, theZoo participates in active breedingprograms for threatened native speciesincluding bog turtles, Eastern boxturtles, and Baltimore checkerspotbutterflies. It also partners with theMaryland Department of NaturalResources on important programs forselect species, such as wildlifemanagement of black bears.

• A comprehensive recycling program isin place on Zoo grounds for a widevariety of items, including aluminumcans, cardboard and paper, plastic,fluorescent and halogen bulbs,batteries, expanded polystyrene, scrapmetal, packing peanuts and bubblewrap, compact discs, chemicals, paint,used motor oil, and electronic items.

• The Zoo also advances the conservation of wildlife and theirhabitats through extensive publiceducation programming.

Dr. Ellen Bronson runs with wolvesThe Zoo’s Senior Veterinarian, Dr. Ellen Bronson, has been interestedin the conservation of wildlife for mostof her life. “That’s why I got into zoomedicine and essentially why I went tovet school – so I could contribute.”As well as ably caring for the Zoo’svaried collection of animals, Ellen has akey role in an international project toprotect a particularly threatenedspecies, the maned wolf, in centralSouth America. No one knows exactlyhow many are left, but the populationis estimated at only 4,000.

For two weeks in the winter of 2007,Ellen traveled for the third time to theremote Noel Kempff Mercado NationalPark in northeastern Bolivia and intothe field on horseback, accompanied bya biologist, in search of these verysecretive, nocturnal animals. “It’s a verynice park, secluded, very little humanfootprint there,” she reports.

By tracking wolves wearing radiocollars or setting box traps (“like a hugedog crate”) baited with chicken, Ellenanesthetized maned wolves, performedphysical exams, and took blood andurine samples. After releasing them atsundown, Ellen “went back and did thelab work, just like we do at the Zoo.”

“The experience we gain working onZoo animals enables us to go out intothe field to treat and help preserve”their wild cousins, says Ellen. “Welearn about the diseases in captivepopulations” and apply that knowledgeto animals in their natural habitats.

In studying the health, behaviors, andecologies of the maned wolves, the goalis to “understand their territories,interactions, and to identify threats tothem, including diseases that threatenthem, and to work with the park toprotect the wolves better in the future.”Ellen and her colleagues also work with

a biologist and two veterinarians fromBolivia, gradually training them to takeover and run the project.

Determined to make a difference in theworld and unafraid of trekking deepinto primeval grasslands miles from civilization to do it, Ellen Bronson

translates her feelings about theimportance of wildlife conservation intoaction, inspiring others along the way.

Meredith Whitney, guardian of golden frogs

Herpetological Collection andConservation Manager MeredithWhitney was a keeper in the Zoo’sformer Reptile House when the first sixPanamanian golden frogs arrived here in1999. Now she supervises the programof which the Zoo was a founding partnerand that revolutionized amphibianconservation work.

After a childhood spent catchingcrawdads, toads, lizards, and snakes,Meredith “took a hobby and made it acareer.” It was at the Zoo’s ReptileHouse that she began to concentrate onthe problem of endangered species.Rather than breeding a group facingextinction, she began to wonder, “Whatcan we do to prevent it from gettingthat bad in the first place?”

While working to develop a protocolfor golden frog in vitro fertilization and

to breed golden frogs here at the Zoo,Meredith found time to travel toPanama in the summer of 2006 tocollect golden frogs from the wild, andagain in the winter of 2007, to assist inmoving the Panamanian collection offrogs to the newly constructed El ValleAmphibian Conservation Centerfacility. On her second trip, the plightof the little amphibians was vividlyevident when she went out in the fieldto collect more frogs. “There wasnothing. There were none.”

The Maryland Zoo was the first tobreed these striking yellow and blackanimals and holds the internationalstudbook for the species. While nearly50 Association of Zoos and Aquariuminstitutions in the U.S. and Canadacurrently have golden frogs, TheMaryland Zoo in Baltimore bred andowns almost all of them.

The Zoo continues to lead the breedingof golden frogs in captivity, therebypreserving the species, and Meredithand her team of Area Supervisor KevinBarrett and Keeper Lauren Augustineare at the helm.

While protecting this highlyendangered species from extinction isan uphill battle, Meredith can proudlysay at the end of a long workday, “Iactually did something productivetoday to keep a species from goingextinct on this planet.” As she puts it, “it’s why I do what I do.”

THE ZOO’S EDUCATION PROGRAM KINDLES A FLAME IN THOSE IT TOUCHES AND INSPIRES THROUGH ITS PROGRAMS AND ITS MESSAGES.

Partnering in Education at theStadium School

For the past two academic years,educators from the Zoo’s School ProgramsDepartment have forged a uniquepartnership with middle school studentsat the Stadium School, a Baltimore CityCharter School that serves 200 studentsin grades 5-8. This year, with the help ofZoo educators who traveled to the schoolevery Wednesday from December toMarch, twenty-eight studentstransformed themselves into trainededucators. They expanded theirknowledge of wildlife and conservationand mastered public presentation skills.

In weekly project classes, Zoo instructorsbrought training materials and animalambassadors to the school, and studentsput together programs of which theycould be proud involving posters, animalartifacts, and hands-on activitiesfeaturing animals from the MarylandWilderness, Polar Bear Watch, and AfricanJourney exhibits. The curriculum also

included training on interactingsuccessfully with the general public.

“Creating the extinction posters was abig hit,” remembers Denise Falk, aseventh grade Social Studies teacher atthe Stadium School who helped run theZoo Exchange Program. “The kids gotalong great with the Zoo staff and reallyenjoyed all of the activities that the Zoobrought to the classroom. They likedworking together and doing hands-onassignments and moving around, playinggames, learning by physically doingthings. They also really liked Mr. Peter’sstory telling!”

Then, in April, to the Zoo they went toeducate others! “My philosophy, whencollaborating with a school, is that theyreally need to help us fulfill our mission,”says Peter Martin (a.k.a. Mr. Peter),Manager of School Programs at the Zoo.“To me, that means more educationstations on grounds.” So that’s exactlywhat the Stadium School kids did. They

arrived at the Zoo on Wednesdaymornings during April and May, set up their stations, greeted visitors, andencouraged them to stop and learn.

“The hardest part for the students wasgetting people walking by to take timeand look at their presentation boards.They could be quite shy about askingsomeone to stop and look, but after theygot them there it was fine,” recalls Ms.Falk. “They enjoyed teaching and theyliked talking to younger children. Andthey loved handing out stickers!”

Many visitors, after viewing the studentstations, made a point of talking to Zooeducators standing nearby. “I wasimpressed by how enthusiastic the kidswere about the materials they were givenand how creative they were about gettingtheir message out,” says Sandra Bedynek,a School Programs instructor whoworked closely throughout the year withthe Stadium School students. “Mostly,though, I was impressed by how much

they wanted to teach people. That, tome, was really inspiring.”

The Zoo received funding from TheBlack & Decker Corporation to supportthe continuation of this program for thenext academic year. The Zoo is currentlyseeking grant money that will make itpossible to offer this hands-on learningprogram to other schools free of charge,as with Stadium School.

Alan Katz, volunteer extraordinaire

“My parents first brought me to the Zooas a young child of about four. One of myearliest family memories is my unclebeing sprayed by a tiger. Until then, I’donly seen gray squirrels and the ponies ofthe junk men who came down the alley.Seeing wild animals was such an unusualthing for me.”

“A few years before I retired as a socialwork administrator for the State, I knew I wanted to volunteer at the Zoo becauseof my concern for the environment andmy love of natural history. Just being apart of this wonderful venture makes mefeel very proud. I’ve been especiallyimpressed by the staff, who seem socommitted to what they do and sowilling to share their respect and passion for the animals with others.”

Alan Katz was named Volunteer of theYear in 2006, and he earned that titlewith every hour he spent here. In 2000,he began as a greeter, answering questionsand welcoming guests. In 2002, hecompleted the 11-week Docent TrainingProgram, to become a top-level educationvolunteer, and this year, Alan gave 374 hours of service to the Zoo.

There isn’t much Alan won’t do, fromlending a very bad French accent to askunk puppet in our puppet shows, to providing guided tours for visiting schoolgroups. During the slower winter season,he helps hand-rear African penguinchicks (a threatened species in the wild),and he always turns up for “Spruce up theCampus” days. He even ropes his wifeinto joining him at Zoo special events!

Almost more important than thequantity and diversity of Alan’s service is his optimistic outlook. He alwaysarrives with a smile, a hug, and a positive observation. Alan is a supportive, reliable, and outgoing member of ourorganization and a constructive rolemodel for volunteers of all ages. We are lucky to have him!

external relationsTHE ZOO TOOK A VERY STRONG MESSAGE – “WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT” –

TO OUR FUNDERS BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC THIS YEAR, AND THEY LISTENED.

Suzanne and Stuart Amos, two ofthe Zoo’s biggest fans

Stuart and Suzanne Amos have spent the lion’s share of their lives living andworking worldwide and have visited zoosall over the planet. To The MarylandZoo, they have given their hearts. A native of England and internationalbusinessman, Stuart joined the Zoo’sBoard of Trustees in 2006. It wasn’t longbefore he and Suzanne, a nativeCalifornian with her own background inthe global market during 30 years withUnited Airlines, eagerly stepped intotheir roles as chairs of Zoomerang!, ourannual black tie fundraiser.

“The Maryland Zoo should absolutely be first class,” says Suzanne. “It has great staff, the grounds to expand – it gives you all the elements of nature,along with a wonderful assortment of animals – and it is in an excitinglocation that provides healthyrecreational activities for young and old alike. Stuart and I both feel that The Maryland Zoo is one of Baltimoreand Maryland’s biggest assets and has

enormous potential. Developed andexpanded appropriately, the Zoo can beof great help to the educational andsocial challenges facing us.”

Both Suzanne and Stuart are well knownlocally for their efforts to make ourcommunity a better place in which tolive, and their involvement with the Zoohas been “very meaningful right fromthe beginning,” as they brought theirenthusiasm and spirit to the Zoomerang!planning process. “It was important tous to get as much monetary support forthe cause – the Zoo – as possible. And itwas a wonderful experience to chair anevent and to get to know the staff andwork with them intimately.”

Stuart and Suzanne knew they were infor something special when they wereasked to dress up in black tie to film atelevision commercial at 8 a.m. with ourelephants, Dolly and Anna. “It’s notevery day you are driving down to theZoo in your tux and ball gown to havean elephant trunk on your shoulder!What a great start to a fantastic event!”

Luckily for us, Suzanne and Stuart haveagreed to stay on as Zoomerang! chairsfor another year. Suzanne explains, “Of all the things in which we’ve beeninvolved, this really touches our hearts.We love so many things about the Zoo!We want to do everything we can torealize the dream of making this Zoo aworld-class facility.” And Stuart echoesSuzanne’s sentiments. “We are delightedto have the opportunity to serve the Zoo and look forward to helpingZoomerang!2008 be the best ever!”

REASEARCH PROJECTS:

Development of a Field Kit for MonitoringHormone Activity in Free-Ranging Elephants(Dr. Elizabeth Freeman, Smithsonian Institute’s National

Zoological Park Conservation and Research Center)

It is unknown whether wild elephants undergo periods inwhich they do not experience normal reproductive cycles. The goal of this study is to develop accurate monitoring kits tocheck ovary and adrenal gland activity by testing feces.Samples of blood and feces were collected from The MarylandZoo elephants for six months and were used to check thevalidity of the developing test kit. One of our females was alsoused for a part of the study in which her adrenal gland wasdirectly stimulated by cortisol in order to compare the cortisolexcreted with the known quantity circulating in the body. Thiswill be a significant advance in research, because it will allowfield scientists to monitor the hormones of wild elephantswithout disturbing their daily lives.

Estrous Cycles in Female Kudu (Stephen Montford, Smithsonian Institute’s National

Zoological Park Conservation and Research Center)

Research request to examine the estrous cycles in youngerand older female kudu when a male is not present. The studywas approved in the fecal samples collected and delivered.

Profile Amino Acids Fatty Acids LipoproteinsVitamins and Minerals in Captive Giraffe (Debra Schmidt, Lincoln Park Zoo)

Research requested serum samples to profile amino acidsfatty acids lipoproteins vitamins and minerals in captivegiraffe. This research was approved, and we contributedsamples from one animal that was chute by collectingblood. This research project is closed.

Ecology of Infectious Diseases in Amphibiansand Factors Affecting Susceptibility ofAtelopus zeteki to Chytridiomycosis(Dr. Cynthia Carey, University of Colorado at Boulder)

The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore provided approximately 200 A. zeteki to be used for research project to assess how Batrachochytridium dendrobatidis affects Panamaniangolden frogs.

Investigation of Demographic, Morphologicaland Ecological Variation among Atelopuszeteki and Atelopus varius(Corinne Richards, University of Michigan)

The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore allowed access to thecollection for measurement of living animals. The Zoo alsoprovided the University of Michigan museum with preservedspecimens for morphometric assessment.

Atelopus zeteki tadpole food preferences study (The Houston Zoo)

Greater Baltimore chapter of the American Association ofZoo Keepers is providing funding.

Social Behavior and Reproductive Cycles in anAll-Female Giraffe Herd (Meredith Bashaw, Ph.D., Franklin and Marshall University)

Data collection occurred in 2006. The Maryland Zoo’sGiraffa camelopardalis herd was monitored regularly andbehavioral observations recorded. Fecal samples werecollected regularly for hormone analysis.

Evaluation of the Mycobacterium Bovis-Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Antibody Test Kit(Chembio Diagnostic Systems, Inc.)

Accurately detecting and diagnosing tuberculosis in bothwild and captive populations of elephants presents anongoing problem in elephant management. Currentaccepted tests are able to detect the disease when it isactively shedding from the host but the test lacks sensitivity.The Maryland Zoo has committed to providing biologicalsamples in a study designed to validate a new test whichcould provide both accurate and thorough diagnosticinformation about elephants affected by the disease in anyway and in any stage of its progression. This test will thenprovide a means of more accurately monitoring this diseasein populations of elephants.

Avian Malaria (Dr. Mike Cranfield, The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore)

Protocol submitted to thaw stored malaria samples from ourbiobank to place in two day old ducklings to refresh oursamples and to perform PCR and sequencing for a moredefinitive identity than was available at the time the originalwork was done. The first phase of this work was completedin late January and February 2007.

Great Ape Blood Typing (Dr. Elizabeth Lonsdorf, Lincoln Park Zoo)

An addition vial of blood was collected from ourchimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) during routine examinationsfor a great ape blood typing project.

Behavior and Reproductive Endocrinology ofSitatunga (Tragelaphus spekii)(Meredith Bashaw, Ph.D., Franklin and Marshall University)

An addition vile of blood was collected from ourchimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) during routine examinationsfor a great ape blood typing project.

Managing the Dynamic Social Life of Captive Adolescent Male Chimpanzees

(S. R. Ross, Lincoln Park Zoo; T. L. Bettinger, Ph.D., Disney’sAnimal Kingdom; M. A. Bloomsmith, Ph.D., Emory University)

Zoo animal care staff documented the severity and locationof all occurrences of wounding among chimpanzee troopmembers. This data will assist in developing managementrecommendations for large captive multi-male chimpanzeepopulations.
