The nonprofit Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA) is launching its first-ever in-person fundraising walk—Walk for the Wild Presented by Skechers—on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2023 and check-in opens at 6:00 a.m. and the walk begins promptly at 7:30 a.m. Guess might be able to support the Los Angeles Zoo and GLAZA’s shared mission. The adventure begins the moment one registers as a Walker, wherein they will learn about the L.A. Zoo’s conservation work and its efforts to save threatened species around the globe.
The proceeds raised from this event benefit the Los Angeles Zoo and its nonprofit partner the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA). In partnership, the L.A. Zoo and GLAZA are committed to preserving and protecting wild species and their habitat for future generations, and creating a space for meaningful, direct connections to nature through exploration, discovery, and education.

Cuisine Inspired by LA Zoo Baby Animals The Los Angeles Zoo opened officially with a private media preview and special guests such as Actresses Betty White, Carolyn Hennesy, Connie Morgan,Los Angeles council Member, 4th district Tom Labonge and John Lewis, Director, Los Angeles Zoo. Many chefs from iconic Los Angeles restaurants were there as part of Beastly Ball 2015 for the special Feast for the Media with dishes inspired by all LA Zoo baby animals such hippos, chimps, otters, koalas, kangaroos and more.
These same restaurants donate their cuisine for guests for this event, which is the main fund-raiser held by GLAZA, a private, non-profit organization that raises money for the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
This idea was for the Master Plan habitat which is designed for specific needs and natural behavior of the species, incorporating state-of-the-art design and technology to provide superior living spaces for the animals, maximize safety and keeper management and accommodate changes in zoo populations, including births. Definitely, an excellent spot to take the family or your special someone to check out domestic and exotic animals of all shapes and sizes.

The Angelinos will be blast after The Los Angeles Zoo has a new habitat for its three jaguars and offering the opportunity to see them up close as never before.
Opening marks the momentous completion of the $180 million Master Plan Phase 1 that has transformed the L.A. Zoo, placing it at the vanguard of animal care and conservation. Therefore Los Angeles is a major world city and this zoo has a lot to offer. Especially now for the 7,100 square-foot jaguar habitat features a waterfall and pool in which the animals can swim, deadwood trees on which they can climb, and abundant landscaping through which they can wander, such as tall grasses, shrubs, ficus trees and banana plants.
The exhibit also offers upgraded Zoo visitor experiences by optimizing viewing, with two glass areas allowing opportunities to see these magnificent animals up-close, and engaging interpretive graphics, all designed to inspire appreciation for preservation of one of the iconic animals of the rainforest environment.
The jaguars’ brand new home, like every other L.A. Zoo Master Plan habitat, is designed for specific needs and natural behavior of the species, incorporating state-of-the-art design and technology to provide superior living spaces for the animals, maximize safety and keeper management and accommodate changes in zoo populations, including births.
Definitely, this one has one of the best exhibits of Jaguars, an average number of unique animals (well fed and cared) and a nice place to spend a few hours if you have time on your hands.
