Photo detail

Jackson Zoo Executive Director Beth Poff credits a "baby explosion" among the zoo's more than 750 animals as part of its recent good fortunes. In the past few months, a Sumatran tiger, orangutan, red wolf, prairie dogs and beavers have all given birth. Poff said the zoo will also add a rhinoceros, red panda and pygmy hippos, which zoo officials hope to breed.
