STAN HUSKY entertained the club last Thursday, with an update on the tremendous progress and enhancements to the ELMWOOD PARK ZOO. 
Stan related the many recent additions to the facility such as the giraffe exhibit,  and enhanced jaguars area.  He also outlined several exciting additions that are currently in the works . There soon will be a new $10 million animal hospital and education center, and an expanded grisly bear area, featuring the bears and other North American animals . Also coming soon, will be a new $3 million otter area featuring a walk through aquarium feel. 
. These and many other attractions have brought the annual attendance up to 540,00 visitors. By comparison, the Philadelphia Zoo attracts 1.2 million. A main goal is the make the Elmwood Zoo a premier destination spot in Pennsylvania, by stressing visitor access to the animals, conservation, and education.

STAN has recently written a new book about the history of the Zoo, adding  to his previous book on Norristown
