Just like them, we're ready to dive into a new year!– In this week’s SnapJAX stories, we ended up at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. One of our snappers was sending pictures of animals at the zoo. It turned out he was a volunteer and he has quite the story about the zoo and how it started a lifelong love in more ways than one.
They have a lot in common. In another life, they both worked in television at the same Jacksonville station. The couple has moved around since then, but the zoo called them home. “A lot of our people that can come here as guests want to see Banks. So we want to make sure that they’re happy. And seeing Banks. So he’ll come out usually about, oh, about nine o’clock when the zoo opens and he’ll entertain them,” Richard said.
