San Antonio Zoo Lauren Patton, Maritza Garcia

Zoo History San Antonio's first zoo

was made up of a collection of animals assembled in San Pedro Park in the 1800s

In 1914, Colonel George W. Brackenridge, founder of the Express news placed more animals in what is now Brackenridge Park.

The San Antonio zoo promotes the well being of animals around San Antonio and educates people of all ages about different kinds of wild life and how we can preserve it.

Zoo History (cont…) Throughout the

zoo’s history volunteers supported it financially and helped it expand over time.

One of the first “cage-less” zoos

• Acclaimed breeding programs for endangered and threatened species.

• The zoo makes a big effort to educate people about the preservation of the Earth and wild life.

Good Deeds.

Put written and video blogs up about individual animals so guests can become attached to certain “characters”

Are there any questions?
