Seattle zoo gets $6 million donation

SEATTLE – The Woodland Park Zoo says an anonymous donor gave it $6 million – the largest gift in the Seattle zoo’s 107-year history.

The zoo plans to use the money to build a new west entry and a new exhibit for Humboldt penguins.

The new exhibit will be home to at least 10 breeding pairs of the endangered penguins. It will include a beach and rocky tide pool. Visitors will be able to see the penguins swim underwater.
