Little known St. Louis Zoo History

One of the reason's for St. Louis's greatness is the retain the services of great architect's and designers, as well as utilizing the talent's of skilled zoo professional's from other institutions, quite often consulting with former alumni in rehashing older exhibits. This year they consulted famed former St. Louis sea lion trainer, Jim Alexander, and retained him to redesign the old polar bear enclosure. Jim, who now works part time at Walt Disney's Animal Kingdom, shared his new knowledge in "exhibit immersion" with his old institution, and his brilliant contribution can be appreciated above. Great job, Jim.
