An Amazing Wildlife Comeback: The Seals of San Nicolas Island
About a three and a half hour drive north of San Diego is a grouping of islands off the California coast, which have contributed to a miraculous recovery. Earlier this year, Ginny Busch and I met up with Jack Hanna and his crew filming a Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures episode.

It's a Girl! First Endangered Orangutan Born at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay welcomes a new member to its orangutan family with the birth of a female on March 12, 2003. The birth is extremely important for the conservation of this endangered species and marks the first time an orangutan has been born at Busch Gardens. There are less than 15,000 orangutans in the wild, making them a critical species to conserve both in the wild and in zoos. The baby brings the Borean orangutan group at the adventure park to four, including mother Dayak, father Skinny and aunt Dixie.
