Four members from the Toledo Zoo visited Ada last week. They put on a program about conservation and care of animals as well as telling about strides made at the zoo in recent years.

The nearby zoo is considered one of the foremost zoos for polar bears, and ONU's mascot Klondike was glad to hear that.
