Welcome to the wild world of ZOONOOZ
What is ZOONOOZ? Well, for one thing the title is a palindrome: the same forward, backwards, and upside down! Beyond that, it is the San Diego Zoo's member magazine, 32 pages of colorful animal and event information published every month.
First published in 1926, it is one of the benefits included in becoming a member of the San Diego Zoo, and most of the 250,000 plus circulation is mailed to our members.

- Feature-length articles about the animals that live at the San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park.

ZOONOOZ® Magazine: July 2007
Secrets of the San Diego Zoo's Reptile House
Since it first opened in 1936, the San Diego Zoo's Reptile House has been home to many truly exotic, beautiful, and rare animals. This quince monitor lizard Varanus melinus, native to the Sula Archipeligo in Indonesia, is just one example of the striking colors, patterns, and adaptations that reptiles and amphibians are famous for. Zoo visitors sometimes claim they're afraid to go to the Reptile House–and yet it has consistently been one of the most popular exhibit areas for 71 years. Find out more about what goes on behind the scenes in this fascinating place in the July 2007 issue of ZOONOOZ®.
