Renew the Zoo!

Renew the Zoo!

My name is Shorty...

I’m a short-eared owl and migratory bird. I’ve called the Alaska Zoo home since I was injured in the wild. In past winters, I’d have to go off exhibit when it got too cold outside. Now, thanks to the new infirmary, I get to watch winter play out from my warm perch and you can see me year round. It’s capital projects like this that Renew the Zoo and enhance the quality of life for every animal that lives at or passes through the Alaska Zoo.

In order to make improvements and Renew the Zoo, we need your help! Please support the Alaska Zoo’s capital projects.

Current capital projects include a bird aviary, updating our animal information signage at exhibits, adding interactive/interpretive signage and exploring plans to expand our polar bear exhibit.
