Special Request: Campaign to Get Slydell a Buddy

Thank you for your generosity! We are so thrilled that you helped us raise $8,000 to get Slydell, our playful river otter, a buddy! We welcomed Slydell's new friend, a female river otter, in December 2008. On behalf of Slydell and the entire wildlife staff, please accept our sincere thanks.
