Do the Zoo for Less!

Don't forget: Starting tomorrow, November 1, your admission to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is discounted to the winter rates of just $7 per person, $5 for kids ages 2 to 11 and free for children under 2 and Zoo members. The discounted rates remain in effect through March 31, 2009. There's plenty of Zoo to do all winter long -- and you'll save some money doing it!

A Wolf Named Gage!

Thanks to everyone who voted to name our new male grey wolf. We received a total of 1579 votes (702 online votes and 877 paper ballots). The winning name was "Gage" and the final tallies for each name were as follows:

  • Gage: 712
  • Joshua: 357
  • Merrill: 261
  • Garth: 247

We also had creative write-ins and online comments that we wanted to share with our readers: Bambi, Snowball, Spyke, Kangaroo, Obama, Brian, Des, Elijah, Mishka, George, Wolfie, Spiritwolf, Maddox, Lobo ("The Wolf That Changed America"), Apollo, Reggie (meaning "king") and Duran (after English pop rock band "Duran Duran" who had a hit with "Hungry Like the Wolf").

Thanks again to everyone who voted! Make sure you visit Wolf Lodge in the coming months because we've been told Gage is getting up close and personal with Zoo visitors at the window.
