MEDIA / PRESS ROOM

Welcome to the Louisville Zoo Press Room. My name is Kyle Shepherd and I am the Media Relations Manager and I am here to assist/serve your media needs. On a deadline and need info about our animals or facilities? How about a photo?  Just want to know why bats hang upside down?  I can find out for you. You will find all the various means of communication below. A snipit about me: My favorite animal is the polar bear, especially our baby polar bear cub, Qannik, but I love all of our animal ambassadors.

Thanks for your interest in our animal ambassadors and in our zoo as we try to better the bond between people and the planet!
