My name is Jamie West, I'm 23 years old. I work at the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden.

I'm a senior at the University of Central Oklahoma majoring in the Photographic Arts program; I've already completed my minor in Journalism. I've interned at Edmond Life and Leisure Newspaper and Magazine where I took part in photography and the journalism side.

I'll be using this blog to talk about the goings-on of the OKC zoo. These posts are going to cover past, current, and future plans for the ever-changing zoo. In the course of this year alone we've had several babies born at the zoo, and are still expecting more babies in the following months.

Pictures, descriptions, and more to come!
