Amelia
It was a cold day in December 2001 when I first visited the Sacramento Zoo. It was late in the afternoon and AMELIA was huddled in a corner trying to catch the last warmth of the setting sun. Her daughter Maria, not quite a year old, was hunched down behind her mother and out of sight.

Amelia was born at the Miami Metro Zoo on February 10, 1991 and came to the Sacramento Zoo in November 1998.
