SAN DIEGO (FOX 5\/KUSI) \u2014 A magazine for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance members just turned 100 years old.<\/p>\n

First published in 1926, ZOONOOZ shared small updates about what was happening at the San Diego Zoo, such as new species or habitats. The first edition<\/a> was eight pages long, and the cover featured a brown bear that had arrived at the zoo in 1917.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The first edition of ZOONOOZ ever printed (San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance).<\/p>\n

Besides its longevity, one of the most surprising things about\u00a0ZOONOOZ\u00a0is that it\u2019s a palindrome \u2014 meaning it reads the same whether you read it forwards, backwards or even upside down.<\/p>\n

For the last century or so, the magazine has been published through major historical events, like the Roaring Twenties and World War II.<\/p>\n

It has captured historic milestones for the zoo that is now one of the most well-known in the world \u2014 from the first open-heart surgery performed on an ape<\/a> to the opening of the Frozen Zoo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The magazine, which has more than 1,000 issues, has even been preserved in the Library of Congress.<\/p>\n

As the San Diego Zoo and the Wildlife Alliance expanded, the publication changed its name to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance Journal in 2021.<\/p>\n
