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.
What will you find in ZOONOOZ?
- Feature-length articles about the animals that live at the San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park.
- Articles about Zoo and Wild Animal Park exhibits and what animals you’ll see there.
- The regular feature CRES Conservation Corner, with stories about research and conservation projects from Conservation and Research for Endangered Species (CRES).
- The regular feature On the Botanical Side, with stories about the huge variety of plants found on the grounds of the Zoo and the Wild Animal Park.
- The special ZOONOOZ calendar issue every November.

If you want to be in the know, ZOONOOZ is for you!

Catching Up with the Condors in Baja
With a wingspan close to 10 feet, it’s difficult to get all of a California condor Gymnogyps californianus in the photo! The California Condor Recovery Program has had a busy year at the Baja, Mexico release site: a first-time breeding pair, nest, and chick, not to mention dealing with the dangers of microtrash and lead poisoning. Read more about the successes and concerns of the managed condor population, in the September 2007 issue of ZOONOOZ®.
