in cooperation with
Metropolitan Park District of Tacoma
WELCOME to the 17th Annual Zoobilee! After many years of celebrating Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and its residents,
Zoobilee has established itself as a one-of-a-kind fundraising
event. The frisky and playful sea otters of Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium lend a paw to the atmosphere of Zoobilee 2007.
Our special otters are Homer and Kanai, survivors of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, and Nellie and Abra, rescue otters from New England Aquarium in Massachusetts. This year be frisky as an otter, take in the lively surroundings and know you are
helping make a difference.
“We don’t all have to do everything, we
just have to do something.”
Zoobilee Conservation Efforts
This year Zoobilee is striving to be an environmentally
friendly event. These are the many ways we have ensured this commitment. LeMay Inc. has supplied resources to recycle and dispose of garbage without the use of can liners. Restaurant and beverage vendors have been encouraged to recycle. Green and recyclable materials are being used whenever possible. Leftover consumable food will be given to the Tacoma Rescue Mission.
Thank you for your support of The Zoo Society and Point
Defiance Zoo & Aquarium’s mission!
Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium
Conservation Efforts
Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium is proud to participate in a number of wildlife conservation projects in the United States and around the globe. Most of these efforts are directly tied to the animals represented at PDZA. With its Pacific Rim theme,
Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium concentrates on animals
from countries bordering the Pacific Ocean.
This year PDZA has allocated nearly $100,000 in funding to a variety of conservation projects here and overseas. The
money comes from private donations raised through the Point Defiance Zoo Society and the Point Defiance AAZK (American Association of Zoo Keepers) Chapter. Areas supported are the Thailand Clouded Leopard Consortium, Marshall Islands
Conservation Action Partnership, the Zoo & Aquarium
Alliance, and The Sumatran Tiger Conservation Program just to name a few areas that benefit from the generosity of donations.
You can help by visiting pdza.org for more information.
DONATIONS
The net proceeds from Zoobilee help fund conservation and
education as well as the special needs of Point Defiance Zoo
& Aquarium. Projects supported since Zoobilee’s inception
have included new exhibits, animal husbandry and care, backup
animal care facilities, educational programs, interpretive
graphics and scientific research equipment.
INFORMATION / EMERGENCY BOOTH
Staff in the Zoovenirs tent, located in front of the Gift Shop, can provide information and assistance. In case of emergency,
friends and family can call 253.591.5368 to leave a message.
You may pick up emergency messages at the Zoovenirs tent.
First Aid assistance is available at Security Headquarters

the sea otter
Male sea otters on average are four to five feet long, including the tail. An adult male may weigh up to 100 pounds,
with the average weight being 70-75 pounds. The average
female is four feet long, weighs between 50-55 pounds, but may
reach 75 pounds. Otters are graceful and playful in the water
but somewhat awkward on land.
Sea otters are social animals. They live in groups called rafts,
ranging from a few dozen to over 100. Rafts are sexually
segregated. They spend most of their day grooming their
fur to keep it waterproof or searching for food. Their high
metabolic rate helps keep them warm in cold water.
Habitat
Sea otters inhabit rocky coastal areas near points of land where
some areas are protected from wind and waves. Although
they prefer kelp beds, these are not essential. Northern sea
otters are found in the shallow waters off Alaska and the
Aleutian Islands, the Commander Islands, the northwestern
coast of Vancouver Island, and Washington State.
Food
The sea otter primarily eats fish, sea urchins, crabs and
molluscs such as clams, mussels, snails, squid, octopus and
abalone. Sea otters use tools in feeding. They will hold a rock on
their chest and beat a shell against it until the shell breaks open.
Miscellaneous/Special Interest
• Sea otter fur is the densest of any mammal. Air bubbles
trapped in the animal’s undercoat prevent skin/water contact.
The natural oils in an otter’s fur also help repel water.
• At the surface, sea otters float on their back. Alternating
their hind flippers up and down or sculling with their tail
and/or flippers accomplishes movement. At the surface, sea
otters can average approximately 0.5-1.5 mph; underwater
they average 1.9 to 2.5 mph with bursts of up to 5.6 mph.
