How often is the pool cleaned and drained?
The pool is cleaned and drained as needed. It differs between the summer and the winter, as algae grows more quickly during the summer. Why is it important for Lucky and Boo to stay at the San Antonio Zoo? Both animals are in the constant care of experienced keepers and staff veterinarians. The San Antonio Zoo connects people with animals and inspires visitors to take conservation action. A recent study found that visiting accredited zoos and aquariums prompts people to feel a stronger connection to animals and to reconsider their role in wildlife conservation. This provides a benefit not only for school children and families in our community, but for conservation programs worldwide. The San Antonio Zoo and its peer institutions help support conservation and scientific research programs, supporting more than 3,700 field conservation and research projects in 100 countries.
