S

ince 1883, one of the great attrac-
tions in Metropolitan Detroit —
especially in the summer — is the
Detroit Zoo (or, to be precise, the “Detroit
Zoological Institute”). It is a world-class
zoo with a global reputation for innovative
exhibits and programming, along with the
best care and consideration for exotic ani-
mals, birds, butterflies, reptiles and many
other species. Just consider the state-of-
the-art Polk Penguin Conservation Center
that opened in April.
The zoo is a great place for a family
excursion. I think I speak for many of us

in Detroit when I say we feel privi-
leged to have such an attraction in
our community. Indeed, when I was
growing up in Detroit, whenever our
out-of-town families visited with all
my cousins, the zoo was usually one
of our prime destinations.
Since 1993, Ron Kagan has led the zoo.
During his 23 years as executive director,
the zoo has developed exhibits and mod-
ern habitats for polar bears, amphibians,
wolves and penguins, and promoted the
adaptation of visual technology.
I recently discovered an early story on

Ron from the Aug. 22, 2003, issue of the
JN. At the time, he may have been one of
only two Jewish zoo directors in America
and, most likely, the only zoo director to
have served in the IDF.
