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.
Nineteen vacancies in the animal
care area will go unfilled.
