Beatrice Bedolla I always have and always will love this zoo? I happened to take my fiance this year, since apparently he has never been to a zoo! He immediately fell in love with JoJo the ape, even if all he did was sit and breathe.
Omar Ramirez Does anyone know if the Primate house is still closed???

Lincoln Park Zoo is inviting Chicagoans to join the bone marrow registry and be a hero for a hero. Joining the registry is free and easy, and can, literally, save a life.
The drive is being hosted in honor of Roy Chelsen, a New York City firefighter with Chicago ties, who was a first responder to the World Trade Cente...r attack on Sept. 11, 2001.
He is credited with saving the lives of six other firefighters that day. Because of his heroism following the terrorist attack, Roy is now in a fight for his own life. Roy, like several other 9/11 first responders, has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a fatal immune system cancer.
A bone marrow donor could save his life – but he needs to find a match. You could be the one who saves his life.
Registration is easy! A consent form is filled out to acknowledge a willingness to donate if a match is made. Then a swab of the cheek is taken and the tissue type is added to the registry.

Lincoln Park Zoo Director of Tanzanian Programs Felix Lankester provides a field update on the Serengeti Health Initiative. Learn how a zoo-led vaccination program is benefiting dogs, wildlife and people!

Vaccinating dogs is hazardous at the best of times, but when the dogs in question are semi-feral, a whole new level of skill and speed is needed. One must approach the dog from behind, syringe in hand, and the vaccination needs to be completed in a single-handed rapid action. ...

Kate Warner Hello Lincoln Park Zoo fans! Here is an update for Didler, one of your sweet pied tamarins who came to live with us at the Chattanooga Zoo. Didler is settling into her new home quite well. Her favorite activities are foraging for mealworms or crickets, playing peek - a - boo in her little basket, and of course, telling her keeper who's boss!!!! I'll post some pics of her soon!

Lincoln Park Zoo Yesterday at Regenstein Center for African Apes, a mirror was installed in a yard for JoJo's gorilla group. Applesauce and peanut butter were smeared on the front and the back to pique interest, but that wasn't necessary to lure some of the apes, who marveled at their beauty in the same way that zoo visitors do.
