With more than 500 native, rare, and endangered animals on 14+ acres, the Sacramento Zoo does round-the-clock work to keep the zoo running and the animals (and guests!) happy. This requires a lot of food, resources, and thoughtfulness about the programs and initiatives that will promote animal welfare, conservation, and public education. The zoo also hosts a variety of fun events throughout the year that allows guests to experience the zoo in whole new way.
So what does it take to make it all happen? Check out our infographic of the zoo’s 2016 recap of events attended, initiatives completed, and food consumed…by animals and people alike!

The songs are comprised of music from the Original Cast Recordings, The Hamilton Mixtape and Lin Manuel Miranda’s “Hamildrops.”

THE REVIEWS:
“History Has Its Eyes On You [now The ALEXANDER Project] captures the spirit of the musical through strong vocals, live and DJ music and hip-hop dance performance.” — Lynn Trimble of the Phoenix New Times.
“They focused instead on songs that people can resonate with today; songs about love, lust, parenthood and the endless and revolutionary impact of immigrants. The show isn’t a performance of the musical, but a celebration of the timeless themes and transcendental music—and performed on a stunning level, of course… I sincerely hope this show returns to Tucson, because it is a hell of a good time.” — Chelo Grubb of the Tucson Weekly.
