There are some new animals to see at a local zoo.
Mindy Weaver, a zookeeper at the Scovill Zoo in Decatur, told Regional Radio on the WHOW Morning Show Friday that they have received Anakin, their new camel that replaced Jack, who was sent to the St. Louis Zoo. They also got a new Zebra who came all the way from Disney's Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida.
As an AZA-accredited zoo, Weaver states that it's common for animals to be transferred in and out between other zoos with the same accreditation.
You can visit the Scovill Zoo located at 71 S. Country Club Road in Decatur. The Zoo is looking ahead to one of their biggest fundraising events of the year, and we'll have more on that with Weaver next week on Regional Radio.
