Baby elephant
attracts crowd
A blockbuster dinosaur ex
hibit, a baby elephant, camps,
co n c erts an d fam ily -frien d ly
ev e n ts h elp ed b o o st the O r
egon Z oo's attendance to more
than l .6 million visits, the high
est figure in the zoo's 122-year
history.
O regon Z oo D irector Tony
V ecchio attributed the record
year to the popularity o f its d i
nosaur exhibit last sum m er and
the arrival of Samudra, the char-
ism atic baby elephant who has
stolen the hearts o f zoo visitors.
Vecchio noted that zoo atten
dance m ight have been even
higher if severe w inter storm s
hadn't forced the zoo to close
for nearly a week in late Decem
ber, a peak tim e for its popular
ZooLights w inter light display.
Events such as the sum m er
concert series and the W orld
Animal Festival also brought in
b ig n u m b e rs, w h ile th e in
creased revenues help the zoo
fund its many conservation and
education program s.
The first tim e the zoo's atten-
dance topped a million was dur
ing 1962-63, the fiscal year im
m ed iately fo llo w in g P acky's
birth in April 1962. The baby
pachyderm drew 1,010,964 spec
tators from all over the N orth
west, eager to see the first el
e p h a n t b o rn in th e U n ite d
States in 44 years.
It w asn't until 1988-89 that
the zoo broke the m illion mark
again. Since then, the zoo has
w elcom ed m ore than a million
guests in 17 o f the past 20 years.
T he O regon Z oo continues
to have the highest attendance
