I had a fun time putting together this post. It gave me the opportunity to share information I've personally gathered through my research of the Family Tree's for some of my wonderful Zoo Friends. Being able to share my passion for these Animals and endear others to them as I have been, is something that was important to me. That was the goal of my first blog

Hope you enjoyed!
