Wow....I didn't realize she got to be so old! But yes, as a kid, I remember that was the fun part to go see Nosey. Actually she was the only animal I knew of that had a name there, but I'm sure there must have been others? Anyway, I remember where her well and even where she was in the zoo. Ah the memories! On a side note, one time when I was kid, we had gotten a tortoise from 29 Palms (where my grandmother lived out in the middle of the desert) and we donated it to the zoo. His name was Homer, so there were at least two animals at the zoo with names.
