Governor and Vet Sonny
Zoo Atlanta had a visit Monday by Georgia Governor, and licensed veterinarian, Sonny Perdue. (Link)
While learning about Zoo Atlanta conservation efforts (with pandas in China and attempting to reverse amphibian declines in South and Central America), the Governor assisted in a physical exam of Zambesi, a 23-year old African elephant.
Zambesi is one of three African elephant females of breeding age which Zoo Atlanta has chosen to send to the NC Zoo which is scheduled to be ready to receive them, with new, larger facilities, in 2007.
