Dallas zoo debuts African exhibit; low attendance trend continues nd Cohen is nitel Heil 92 DALLAS (AP) - The long- awaited Wilds of Africa exhibit opened at the Dallas Zoo with a splash that brought an African president and several ambas sadors to shower praise on the $30 million project. But the national prestige that officials two years ago predicted would follow the exhibit has proved elusive. "Some people here don't even know that Dallas has a zoo," said Ron Kagan, general curator. "I'm not going to make any ex cuses; we are not where we want to be in terms of attendance," he said. "We were wanting and hop ing for a far greater attendance than what we have now." Although the 25-acre Wilds of Africa exhibit sparked initial ex citement, the number of zoo visi tors declined by more than 30,000 last year. Dallas Zoo officials also have suffered a number of setbacks. Since November, several ani mals have died from a rare virus. Encephalomyocarditis, spread by rodents, claimed two elephants, a red panda, a mona monkey, two howler monkeys and a chim panzee. The 80-year-old zoo has no money to replace many of the dead animals, officials said. Last summer, popular zoo di rector Warren Iliff left Dallas to become head of the Phoenix Zoo. Iliff, director for seven years, raised millions of dollars in pri vate funds for the Wilds of Africa and other exhibits. City officials last month hired former U.S. Air Force Col. Richard Buickerood of San Antonio to re place Iliff. The new chief, who has no zoo experience, said he plans to study the successes of other zoos. "I like first-time visitors, but I want to be just as happy about second-and third-time visitors," said Buickerood, who is sched uled to arrive Wednesday. And financially, since 1990, the zoo's city-subsidized operating budget has dropped from a record $6.9 million to $6.4 million last year. Two weeks ago, park depart ment officials announced that al most $250,000 would be slashed from the zoo's new budget. The cuts would have the greatest effect on the zoo's highly regarded re search and conservation program.
