	Woodland Park Zoo Press Release
		Seattle - Woodland Park Zoo staff is behind the scenes diligently nurturing rare Oregon silverspot butterfly larvae in hopes of stabilizing the species’ population, in grave decline, on the Oregon Coast.
		The larvae are part of the Oregon Silverspot Butterfly Project, a cooperative conservation program to headstart the threatened butterflies and bring the insects back from the brink of extinction.
		Both Woodland Park Zoo and Oregon Zoo are directly aiding the effort by headstarting the butterflies, a process similar in some ways to WPZ's long-standing western pond turtle headstart program, which hatches and raises the young in zoos until they reach a size large enough to escape predation in the wild.

		Portland, Ore.—The ballots have been counted and the official vote results are in—the Oregon Zoo's sea otter pup will be named Oz (nicknamed Ozzie).
		Marine life keeper Jeremy Goggins championed the new name for the first pup in the world to be conceived, born and raised by his mother in any zoo or aquarium.
		“I liked Oz because the initials represents the Oregon Zoo, which will forever link the pup to the place of his birth.” Born on January 3, the pup surprised marine life keepers because both his mother Thelma and father Eddie were considered too young to have offspring.
