Hi! I'm Zoey and today I'll be showing off some of the animals here at the Wade Zoo!

Follow me to learn some interesting facts about my pals!

Oh hey Zoey! Nothing much, although I do have some new friends coming from Wisconsin today. I'm really excited, there is so much room in my exhibit! I can't wait to race all my new friends, with my speed reaching 37 miles per hour!

Hi Willy the Wolf, what's howlin today?

Hey Geoffrey the Giraffe, why the long neck?

Well Zoey, it helps me reach the tasty leaves at the top of the trees. Without this neck I don't know how I'd ever eat!

Nope not me! I am actually one of the best swimmers in the jungle. I can swim across rivers 4 miles wide!

What's purring Tony the Tiger? Is it true that all you cool cats hate the water?

Hey Henry the Hippo, why do you always open your mouth so wide? It's enormous!

Well Zoey, I can open my mouth 180 degrees if necessary, but only if I feel threatened. It also helps for when I want to eat a big lunch!

Just getting my exercise in, us monkeys have amazing strength in our hands and feet that give me the ability to do my favorite pastime - swinging from trees!

Hiya Chip the Chimpanzee, what's hanging?

How's it going Ellie the Elephant? Your baby is so cute!

Thanks Zoey, one day he will be even bigger than me! When he is fully grown he could weigh up to 15,000 pounds!

Hi Zane the Zebra! I love your black and white stripes, you look so cool!

Thanks Zoey, not only do they look cool, they help keep flies from landing on me. My black and white pattern confuses them when they try to land!
