A local zoo is welcoming the addition of a new animal on exhibit.
Jay Teztloff, director of Miller Park Zoo, indicates the zoo has recently added a hooded crane. The crane is the zoo's first since its founding in 1891.
Hooded cranes are cold-blooded animals and can be on exhibit outside up to negative temperatures. Tetzloff adds that the zoo also plans on adding a female hooded crane and hopes to have a breeding pair at the Miller Park Zoo.
Tetzloff indicates the zoo has never had a hooded crane before and it is the zoo's first crane since 2005.
