Look Who’s Turning 5! San Diego Zoo Safari Park Invites Guests to Help Celebrate with Gorilla Joanne
The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is inviting the public to a special celebration next Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at the gorilla habitat inside Gorilla Forest, in honor of gorilla Joanne. She is turning 5, marking a major milestone for a youngster once called a “miracle baby” because of the challenges she overcame following complications during her mother’s labor.
A huge celebration took place at UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital earlier today (March 7, 2019), complete with San Diego Zoo Safari Park animals—including a tamandua, a sloth, and a kinkajou—and a 15-foot-long lion puppet, and flamingo and giraffe puppets from the San Diego Zoo!
Young patients, their families and invited guests were treated to a visit with some amazing animal ambassadors from BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo—at a gathering at Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital earlier today (Feb. 1, 2019)
