The Lufkin Rotary Club held the dedication ceremony on September 20, 2006 for The Chinese Alligator Exhibit at the Ellen Trout Zoo. Above Rotarians Bruce McKibben, James Slack, and Dennis Rankin are pictured next to the exhibit. At left are Doug (zoo employee), Dennis Rankin, James Slack, Gorden Henley, Charlotte Henley, and Bruce McKibben.
This exhibit will now allows these Chinese Alligators to grow and live happier in a sunny natural environment. They are receiving a better diet to correct their teeth and color. The large pool is also helping to strengthen their muscles. Thanks Rotary!
