Welcome to the wild world of ZOONOOZ
What is ZOONOOZ? Well, for one thing the title is a palindrome: the same forward, backwards, and upside down! Beyond that, it is the San Diego Zoo's member magazine, 32 pages of colorful animal and event information published every month.
First published in 1926, it is one of the benefits included in becoming a member of the San Diego Zoo, and most of the 250,000 plus circulation is mailed to our members.
What will you find in ZOONOOZ?
- Feature-length articles about the animals that live at the San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park.
- Articles about Zoo and Wild Animal Park exhibits and what animals you’ll see there.
- The regular feature CRES Conservation Corner, with stories about research and conservation projects from Conservation and Research for Endangered Species (CRES).

Taking Steps for Polar Bears
Life can be, well, a bear when your habitat is shrinking and your conflicts with other species are growing. Such is the situation facing the polar bear Ursus maritimus as climate change chips away at its Arctic home and the presence of humans has an ever-increasing influence on behavior—and survival. Read about the conservation efforts to save this majestic animal, and what the Zoo's own polar bears are doing to help the cause in this month's issue of ZOONOOZ®
