SACRAMENTO ZOOLOGICAL
SOCIETY PRESIDENT
Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) since 1975, look for the AZA logo
whenever you visit a zoo or aquarium as your assurance that you are supporting a facility dedicated
to providing excellent care for animals, a great experience for you, and a better future for all living
things. With its more than 200 accredited members, AZA is a leader in global wildlife conservation,
and your link to helping animals in their native habitats. For more information visit www.aza.org.
Elected Chair of AZA in September 2006, Mary Healy will lead the 82-yearold national organization toward its goal of building North America’s largest
wildlife conservation movement.
After many years of fundraising, less than one year of construction, and under budget, the
Sacramento Zoo officially dedicated and opened the Dr. Murray E. Fowler Veterinary Hospital
on November 9, 2006. With public tours, speeches, and media coverage, we all felt proud as this
great accomplishment came to an end…. however, it was only the beginning.
Within one week after opening, the vet staff conducted their first large animal exam in the new
hospital – an ultrasound to determine the pregnancy of our female tiger, Baha. With our faces
smashed up against the viewing window, we all watched in awe as our veterinarians and their students, checked our
tiger over from nose, to toes, to the tip of her tail.
The new exam room was spacious, well-lit, with all the equipment
ready and at their fingertips. Just weeks before, the vet staff would
have been on their knees in the cramped, dimly-lit back area of
the tigers’ habitat. But with the new hospital’s exam room, surgery
room, ICU, lab and recovery area, they are able to provide the
animals – big and small – with the best possible care….right here
on Zoo grounds.
The birth of our Sumatran tigers was truly a labor of love for
more than just Baha, who gave birth to three male cubs the day
after Thanksgiving. Since tigers are solitary animals, the keepers
monitored the two cats’ behaviors daily to predict the best time to
bring the cats together. Then, they worked with our maintenance staff to build a nesting box that would serve as
Baja’s delivery room. This was the first tiger birth at the Sacramento Zoo and being one of our critically endangered
animals, we were ecstatic!
The tiger cubs’ birth followed some other exceptional endangered animal births here at the Zoo. Three Black and
white ruffed lemurs, born April 23rd, ventured out into their exhibit and met their young neighbor, a male Coquerel’s
Sifaka born February 14th. These young lemurs charm visitors at the Lemurs of the Lost World exhibit. The Zoo
also welcomed an important addition in June with the birth of a female snow leopard. This is the second birth for this
breeding pair at the Sacramento Zoo. The experienced mother took
great care raising her cub and bringing the cub into the exhibit on her
own timeline.
One more new addition came chuggin’ into the Zoo, on twenty wheels
instead of four feet. During its first six months of operation, over
25,000 visitors rode past tigers, otters, parrots and more on the Zoo’s
new trackless train. Choo choo!
3
From furry births to feathery hatching, new arrivals came in many different shapes and sizes.
Births included a Coquerel’s sifaka, three Black and white ruffed lemurs, one Snow leopard
and three Sumatran tigers.
Some new arrivals also included a female Red
panda, two Burrowing owls, a River otter, two Great
hornbills, a Lady Ross’ touraco, and American
flamingo eggs. The flamingo eggs took their first
flight traveling across country in a specially designed
carry-on incubator all the way from Hialeah Park in
Florida. The flamingo chicks hatched at the Zoo in
July and the two youngsters will join the flamingo
flock in the summer of 2007.
The Australian Outback exhibit expanded with the additions of a
Bennett’s wallaby, two Red kangaroos and two emus.
While 2006 saw several new additions, it
also marked the passing of some Zoo animal
residents. Jimmy, a 13-year-old male Golden-bellied
mangabey passed away unexpectedly. Mohawk, a 22year-old female Spotted hyena was euthanized to
prevent her from suffering from Chronic Lymphocytic
Leukemia after two and a half years of managing her
condition. Comet, an endangered Mongoose lemur
died of a liver abscess. Paulina and Tony, 7-year-old
mother and 1-year-old son, Coquerel’s sifakas died
unexpectedly during the summer.

The Zoo opened two new Amphibian Exhibits sponsored by the Sacramento Stormwater Quality Partnership. One
exhibit is home to Pacific tree frogs and a roughskin newt, while the other exhibit houses green tree frogs, squirrel
tree frogs and canyon tree frogs. With their new tropical rain forest dioramas, these exhibits reflect the natural
habitat of their inhabitants. Unlike the other Reptile House displays, these exhibits are “cold rooms” which keep
the temperature around 70 degrees. These new habitats are important to the Zoo’s collection as about one-third of
amphibian species face extinction – greater than the one-eighth of all birds and one-quarter of all mammals.
Construction also began on the Zoo’s Backyard, designed by landscaper Dave Roberts owner of Roberts Landscape
and planted by John Procida and Procida Nursery. The project was modeled after an approach established in the Bay
Area called The Bay-Friendly Gardening program. Locally, the Sacramento Stormwater Quality Partnership has
adopted the same approach and has re-named it River Friendly Landscaping. The common thread is a commitment
to maintaining a healthy garden that benefits our environment, communities, and local wildlife. These landscapes
flourish while conserving resources and preventing pollution. This interactive area will include a garden, nature trail,
children’s play area and interpretive alcoves.
The management of zoo animals encompasses every aspect of an animal’s life – movement between
zoos, breeding, veterinary issues, nutrition, behavior, enrichment and conservation of that species
in the wild. By participating in Species Survival Plans® for many of the world’s endangered and
threatened animals, the Sacramento Zoo plays an important role in local, national, and world-wide
animal conservation.

We said goodbye to Robin Whittall, our Education Director for thirteen years. Although she may have left the
Zoo, her contributions to the Docent Council, and advancements throughout the education department will not be
forgotten. Luckily her successor, Ann Geiger, already had vast knowledge of the department and a motivating vision
for the future educational components of the Zoo.
Each year, volunteer Docents improve the visitors’ experience by
providing creative interpretation, hands-on education opportunities and
quality customer service. A teacher wrote,
“The docent for my group was very knowledgeable and
extremely patient with my second graders. My students and I
walked away learning more and feeling very edified. Overall,
based on the feedback of parent volunteers, many docents were
like ours. I just wanted to say thanks to the people involved that
made our field trip a success.”
Fay Call, Second Grade Teacher
The teen counselor program helps prepare teens for the job market. The teens must first fill out a registration form
with a letter of recommendation, and then come to the Zoo for an interview. Once accepted into the program
they attend a weekend training class and must commit to approximately 150 hours of
volunteer time during our summer camps. Many of them exceed the requirements each
summer. This summer 43 local teens worked a total of 6,995 hours in three months.

also responsible for a large number of lectures and laboratories taught at
the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and participates in “vet tagalong sessions” coordinated by the Zoo’s education department.
As an educational facility, the Sacramento Zoo follows the California State
Board of Education Science Content Standards through a variety of programs.
Everyday, the Zoo offers visitors – children and adults alike – the opportunity to
learn about our wildlife, appreciate and preserve our wild places, and respect the
role that animals, nature and people all play on this planet.

Over 448,000 visitors, including nearly 67,000 school children, were asked this
year to “Find Your Favorite Face” at the Sacramento Zoo. This branding carried
over in our television advertising, billboard, pole banners, direct mail, visitor’s
map, and other print materials. Additionally another 22,702 visitors attended
special events and group rental activities.
Our signature event, Wild Affair was a great success. The sold-out event generated a net income of over $62,000.
This is an increase of 52% over last year’s event. The 22nd annual Ice Cream Safari netted $42,126 thanks to
generous in-kind donations from our sponsors Baskin Robbins, Smart &
Final and Coca-Cola. The Swingin’ Safari Golf Tournament sponsored by
Nacht & Lewis Architects and Unger Construction now in its 5th year also
exceeded its goal by over $4,000, netting $38,000. Zoovies, a promotion
with Bar S Foods, Raley’s/BelAir and Radio Disney brought in over $4,500
while ZooZoom, our family fun run, netted over $4,000. Group Events and
Rentals came in at its highest ever with $102,887.
Our membership program continues to exceed budget, grossing $614,000 for the year. Wild Providers, our donor
giving club, is up to 31 members and brought in an additional $41,600. Individual donations were significant this
year. Together the veterinary hospital campaign and annual giving campaign brought in over $100,000 in donations.
With the gifts of $1,200,000 from the City of Sacramento; $25,000 from Wells Fargo; and
$10,000 from Setzer Foundation; plus in-kind donations valued at $85,000 from Unger
Construction and $30,000 from Sutter Hospital, we were able to bring the dream of the Dr.
Murray E. Fowler Veterinary Hospital to life. We received a bequest of $816,000 from
the Estate of Willoughby Lyons, a long-time friend of the Zoo. Her bequest went to our
Endowment Fund. We also received an undesignated bequest of $23,374 from the Chamness
Family Trust. The RCA Community Fund of the Sacramento Region Community
Foundation gave $25,000, while US Bank contributed $10,000; both gifts for
our education programs. Other significant donors for 2006 include Dorothy R.
Jaman, Nancy and Bill Gilbert, and Bill and Janne Wissel.
As a community treasure, the Zoo is a wonderful place to bring the family together for a morning,
or the afternoon; to experience amazing creatures up close; to relax in the beautiful surroundings of
gardens and heritage trees; and to appreciate all that makes living in Sacramento so special. Nestled
in beautiful William Land Park, the Zoo is here for you and your family to enjoy the wildlife and the
beauty of nature.

VETERINARY HOSPITAL GRAND OPENING
The veterinary hospital grand opening weekend celebration received a tremendous amount
of media attention, including nine reports on four major local television networks between
Wednesday, November 8th and Monday, November 13th. Dr. Ray Wack, Dr. Murray E.
Fowler and Mary Healy provided excellent interviews emphasizing the importance of having
a “state of the art building” on site for veterinary procedures.
SPRING LECTURE SERIES
The Spring Lecture Series opened with a presentation entitled “The Truth Behind Intelligent
Design,” which stirred up the public’s attention. Both TV stations, KCRA3 and CBS13 featured
the lecture and an interview with Zoo Director, Mary Healy, as well as live coverage the day of
the lecture. Although the lecture series was considered controversial, it reinforced the
Zoo’s position as an educational
facility and 2006 was the first
year the Zoo’s lecture series
sold out.
ANIMAL BIRTHS
This year our collection grew with many significant births and the
media flocked to see the adorable babies. The births of the Coquerel’s
sifaka, the three Black and white ruffed lemurs and the Snow leopard cub
received featured segments on many local television stations. When the
three Sumatran tiger cubs were born we distributed a handful of pictures
taken by Zoo staff to the media. In turn, all five major local television
stations ran the pictures and story over a four-day period and we received
excellent placement in the Sacramento Bee newspaper.

The Sacramento Zoo Conservation Committee continues to further
the Zoo’s mission by promoting local and global conservation projects.
In addition to supporting SSP® endorsed projects such as Thickbilled parrot conservation, the committee funded or participated
in 10 different projects. One of the Zoo’s largest conservation
efforts is focused on protecting Grevy’s zebras in Kenya. The
Grevy’s Zebra Trust raises awareness of conservation issues in
local communities, monitors populations, coordinates productive
partnerships with local organizations, and secures resources
for Grevy’s zebra through holistic management of community
rangeland. A sign highlighting this work has been placed near our
zebra habitat. Other projects include funding hornbill nest boxes
in Thailand, a jaguar camera trap for research at the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in Belize, and
upgrading education graphics at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary off the coast of Uganda.
A limited number of research proposals from first year veterinary residents are considered each year. Two research
projects undertaken in 2006 included, male Sumatran orangutan hormonal profiles

The Sacramento Zoo Green Team members are hard to miss. With a love for
organic, fair-trade chocolate, we are the ones digging in the trash cans to rescue
that plastic bottle, aluminum can or copy paper that we know is down there.
It’s an addiction and it’s spreading! As we try to lead by example, our staff,
docents and volunteers have taken a more active role in reducing waste,
recycling and other green practices such as organic, conserving energy and
spreading the “be green” bug.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Recycled 200 pounds of batteries
Recycled three truck-loads of e-waste
Provided sustainable, compostable dinnerware, drink cups, and utensils for 450 guests
at Zoo Parents Picnic and Family Overnight Safaris (Compostable materials:
discarded sugar cane fiber used for plates and bowls; corn for cups; and potato starch
for utensils.)
Increased the number of recycle bins for special events and permanent containers
for Zoo visitors
Raised $2,651 for Zoo’s Conservation Fund and Recycling programs through
semi-annual rummage sale
The non-profit [501(c)3] Sacramento Zoological Society, formed in 1957, assumed financial and
daily management of the Zoo (from the City of Sacramento) in July 1997. Since its inception, the
society has served as the fundraising organization for the Zoo, providing funds for animal care,
education and conservation programs. More than 10,500 local and regional households are members
of the Sacramento Zoological Society.

2006 was successful in many ways; not only as reflected in the financial
statements but with increased numbers of visitors, members and donors.
The extra effort of the entire staff all contributed to this success.
Admission revenue was the highest in the Society’s history at almost $1.7M.
Over the last years, the attendance has been steady at approximately
450,000 per year with a slight increase in gate prices. Admission revenue
accounts for 40% of our operational budget.
Membership again surpassed budget with net revenue of over $400,000.
Education supports the Zoo substantially with summer programs netting
$60,000; group overnights netting $30,000; and the ZooMobile bringing in
$24,000. Zoo keys, the dump truck and train have netted the Zoo $55,000.
Service System Associates, the gift shop and food concessionaire generated
a $369,000 commission.
A generous bequest increased our endowment fund which now stands at
almost $1,600,000. This increase enabled us to begin using some of the
interest from the investments to support the Zoo’s activities.
The City has been very generous and increased its support and is now
helping the Zoo with $760,500 this year. With the City bond of $1,200,000
we were able to complete the new veterinary hospital.
Donations-in-kind, which are non-cash donations, are as varied as radio/TV/
newspaper advertising, which we don’t pay for, to items for auctions. We also
receive gifts to be used by the zoo: enrichments for the animals, equipment
for the vet hospital, plants for landscaping, wheelchairs for visitors, office
equipment and much more.
Overall, we are showing $409,000 net operating income for 2006. This
excellent of additional funds generated, will help us to work on the needed
improvements for AZA accreditation.
Congratulations to the staff of the Zoo.
