Whirlwind Update for Antique Carousel
The Zoo’s antique carousel was recently renovated. The
Louisville Zoo Maintenance staff repainted the outside
columns, replaced all of the bulbs with energy effi cient
LED bulbs and had the inside art cleaned. There are now
17 new and several refi nished animals on the carousel that
were painted and repaired by Brian Stear, Zoo Maintenance
Mechanic. Some of the new animals include a fl amingo,
Canada lynx, zebra, pygmy hippo and penguin.
A Big Step for Little Penguin
Conservation Center
The Zoo’s fi rst successful hatching of a little penguin
occurred earlier this year. The chick, cross-fostered and
assisted by Bird Department staff, has fl edged the nest
box and is in the process of integrating into the fl ock.
