The Park Comes Alive at Night!

by

Moonlight

July 19 • August 18 • September 16
8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

The summer is such an exciting time to visit the zoo. Among the variety of events that seem to be happening
every week, one of the most unique happens after dark. ZOO BY MOONLIGHT provides access to the park
after hours, leading to some really wonderful encounters with the animals.

This event takes place the night of the full moon each month through September. Those nights, the
park opens from 8 pm – 9:30 pm and you can see all of the nocturnal creatures out and about. When you’re
wandering the grounds by nothing more than the light of the moon (and maybe a flashlight), and you hear
the howls and sounds from all of the animals, it feels like you’re out in the wild with them!

Our first installment this year was an amazing hit, and a lot of that was thanks to our Clouded
Leopards. Aside from being nocturnal, they’re very elusive as it is, so it’s been rare catching sight of them.
But during this event, they were both out the entire night – guests got amazing looks at them jumping around
and climbing all night long; they were very curious. If there were no reason to attend this event other than
to see those two, it would be worth it. Special event pricing applies for this event: $4 for Members, $6 for
Non-Members.

This event provides great access to the park and animals after normal hours. It’s already shaping up
to be a great summer – we can’t wait to see you out at the park with us!

HPZS Associate Spotlight:
Jennifer Harkrader

With this newsletter, we’re going to start incorporating a bit more of a
personal flair by including interviews with park staff and volunteers.
These are the people who give so much to care for these animals – we
hope you’ll enjoy getting to know them a bit more. We’ll start this series
with a Q&A session with Senior Animal Keeper, Jennifer Harkrader.
Q: How did you begin your career as a Zoo Keeper?
A: I grew up on a farm in Minnesota, so I was always surrounded by
animals. Even as a young child, I knew I wanted to do something that
revolved around animals. After college I interned at the Minnesota Zoo
and fell in love with being an Animal Keeper.

What’s in Your Backyard?

Heritage Park’s Zoo’s conservation efforts are
hands on and involve many aspects of operation beyond what most guests see as they visit
the park. On an annual basis, HPZS handles an
average of 400 calls involving wildlife from the
Northern Arizona area. These calls include wildlife injuries, abandonment, animal nuisance
questions, relocations and animals in distress.

What you may not realize is that HPZS operates a 24 hour a day, seven day a week emergency
number for all types of wildlife calls. These afterhours’
calls go directly to management officials for the zoo
and are handled on a case by case priority basis for
emergency assessment. Many of the calls come from
community residents that simply need reassurance
that the animals are not in immediate danger and
do not need human intervention. Other calls involve
lifesaving rescue efforts and animal triage.

Animals requiring immediate treatment are
rescued from the wild and brought to the zoo or veterinarian for treatment, or individuals bring the animal(s)
to the zoo directly. Animals are triaged here on site
and are held for further rehabilitation or released
back into the wild.

Q: How long have you been with HPZS?
A: Four and a half years
Q: What are your favorite animals to care for, and why?
A: Trick question, they’re all my favorites! No way could I pick just one.
Q: What would you say has been your most exciting experience as an
Animal Keeper?
A: Meeting my husband at Out of Africa Wildlife Park, where we worked
as Zoo Keepers together.
Q: What is one thing you would like people who visit zoos and sanctuaries
to know about what you do?
A: We love the animals and always have their best interests in mind.
We’ll wake up in the middle of the night sometimes worried about how
they’re doing – it’s not just a job.
Q: What is your least favorite part of being a Keeper?
A: Not having enough time with all of the animals. Oh, and all the poop.
Q: Do you have animals of your own at home? Who and what are they?
A: Three dogs: Cecilia, Bella, and Amore; two snakes: Nala (Burmese
Python) and Moraca (Diamondback Rattlesnake)

This time of year is when we see the highest number
of calls (April through September) as baby animals
are being born and learning from their parents how to
hunt, eat, fly and live on their own. Young animals are
especially vulnerable to unfavorable human interactions and/or high mortality rates.

If you see an animal in distress, contact
your local wildlife refuge, AZ Game and Fish Department or Heritage Park Zoo before intervening
or removing the animal from the wild. Many times
the animals are doing what they do naturally (learning to fly, walk, hunt, eat or waiting for parents to
return) but to us humans look to be in need of
assistance. Animals always do better if they are
raised and cared for by their natural parents.

With your help, we can secure a better
tomorrow for these animals today!

More Ways to Support HPZS!
Thanks to Fry’s Food Stores’ Community Rewards Program
and Amazon Smile, there are more ways than ever to support the animals in our sanctuary. And best of all, you can
do it by doing nothing more than the normal shopping you
already do anyway!

With Fry’s Community Rewards Program, you can
like your VIP Card to our organization (with an easy, onetime online registration process) that gives a small percentage of your purchase price back to us when you use
your card.

Amazon Smile (visit Smile.Amazon.com to register)
is another program where you can link your account to our
organization. Once it’s linked, do all of your normal shopping on Amazon (all the same products and same prices),
and we’ll get a percentage of your purchase prices.

It’s really that easy! You can register for both programs online (we have details instructions on our website),
and once you’re signed-up, you’re good to go. For more
information on how to register for either of these, please
contact Alex at 928.778.4242, ext. 16.
