I am a member of the Philadelphia Zoo. I designed and created the first version of my "I love the Philadelphia Zoo" website in 1999 to show my appreciation to everyone at the zoo who makes it possible for me to see and observe so many fascinating creatures. After learning HTML and javascript, I was able to revise the original version to make navigation easier, and to make the pages load more quickly. This new 2002 edition shows some of the new inhabitants and reflects some of the changes that have taken place recently at the zoo.

The original version of my website is no longer available for viewing on the Internet. But you can still view the revised editions. This 2002 edition will be updated from time to time with feature pages, and, in another year or so, there will probably be an entirely new edition.

I hope everyone who visits this site will also be able to visit the Philadelphia Zoo. I believe you will love it, too. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for visiting!
