A lifetime of memories at Chahinkapa (opens the original)
Read excerpt
She sat on a bench watching the otters. I walked past during my regular duties and casually commented, “The otters are more active in the water now than they were all summer.” She smiled. I thought she looked familiar, but perhaps she was a frequent visitor. A while later, the same young lady was in Grandpa’s Petting Zoo. She asked the zookeeper about a horse she once knew here, “a black miniature named Minwee, my favorite!” Then she added, “That was a long time ago.” Our zookeeper explained tha
Touch, see, learn and wonder (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you have glass displays, you have fingerprints, smudges and smears. But windows give you a clear and close view of the living species beyond the glass. The animals inside have a story to tell that can only be revealed by watching and learning. Each creature’s tale is seen in its eyes, face, movement, color and behavior.

The wonder of humpback whales (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is peak season for humpback whale migration. Tom and I were fortunate to experience nature’s passage of these great cetaceans off the coast of Moreton Island in Australia this week. "Awe-inspiring" is not a strong enough phrase to describe the movement of this huge and graceful species as they honored us by showing themselves, even for an instant. Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are 46 to 56 feet long and can weigh up to 44 tons. Humpbacks are baleen whales, meaning they do not have
