Puyallup Tribe donates $685,000 to Tacoma zoo
TACOMA, Wash. -- The Puyallup Indian Tribe is donating $685,000 to the Point Defiance Zoo to help pay for a new red wolf exhibit.
The zoo has played a key role in a federal recovery program that saved the red wolf from extinction.
The zoo society director, Caryl Zenker, says the zoo is nationally known for its red wolf breeding program.
Zenker says construction should start next year on a $1 million red wolf exhibit.
