Cleveland Zoo Expedition, 1960

Cleveland Zoo Expedition, 1960
The purpose of the 1960 expedition to East Africa extended beyond just collecting animals. Reflective of the growing influence of environmentalism, a goal of the safari was to observe the natural habitat of animals to aid in the creation of more realistic and humane zoo exhibits. The safari attendees included photographer Herb Rebman, Zoo Director Dr. Leonard Goss, two winners of the Zoo safari contest, former U.S. Attorney Sumner Canary, and representatives from trip sponsors Stouffer Corp., Barker & Sons Co., and Thompson Ramo Wooldridge Inc. | Source: Image courtesy of Cleveland State University.
