Heart of the Zoo, December 2003Heart of the Zoo (the most ambitious project in their 89-year history) will open tomorrow. A 50-year-old ficus tree, the largest of its kind in the country, was moved across the park and will be the exhibit’s 80-foot centerpiece.

Philantropist Joan Kroc bequeathed the zoo $10 million
for the elaborate habitat (almost a third of the total cost.)
