Spotlight Stories
Here is where we can shine the spotlight on some very special people who support our zoo!
An Affinity for Art and Animals
We recently recieved a very generous donation of artwork that we simply had to share. This collection of artwork by wildlife artists Charles Frace and Betty Allison brings wildlife to life in a series of prints that truly capture their love of animals. We are so honored to have recieved this donation and, if we can pry these beautiful pieces from Patti's grip, they will be showcased in a huge fundraising event to be held in 2013.

She Gets an "A" in Our Book!
This amazing video was created by ten year old Erin Crimmins from Pennsylvania who has been been coming to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo for over five years when she visits her grandparents in Pensacola. She has made many fond memories here, and was recently inspired to make a video about our zoo. We were so impressed we just had to share!
