Welcome to the Ada Zoo...also known as Toledo Zoo

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, April 25, 2016

Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
Four members from the Toledo Zoo visited Ada last week. They put on a program about conservation and care of animals as well as telling about strides made at the zoo in recent years.

The nearby zoo is considered one of the foremost zoos for polar bears, and ONU's mascot Klondike was glad to hear that. 

One of the polar bear moms there gave birth to her seventh cub in December. If all goes well, the baby bear will be seen by zoo-goers later this summer.
