Cleveland Metroparks Zoo opens new Giraffe Encounter

Gather up your herd and head to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo to see the new Ben Gogolick Giraffe Encounter in the African Savanna area today, featuring an entirely new giraffe feeding experience for guests.

The new giraffe feeding deck, which opened today, greatly expands the experience for guests, featuring a much larger deck area that is positioned farther out into the exhibit than the previous one was. Guests will still be feeding the giraffes Romaine lettuce as they did in the past, but the hours have been expanded and now run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily through Labor Day. Romaine lettuce is $2 per leaf and is available at the giraffe deck site.

The Ben Gogolick Giraffe Encounter enables guests to get closer to the world’s tallest mammal and gives them the chance to have an unforgettable experience hand-feeding the giraffes while learning about their plight in the wild.

After the two giraffe calves born last year, the Zoo’s herd is up to six Masai giraffes, including males Travis and Jabari, and females Jhasmin, Jada, Grace and Adia. Giraffes are native to the savannas of Africa south of the Sahara Desert. Masai giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi) are found in Kenya and Tanzania, near the Masai Mara National Reserve. The Zoo participates in the Masai giraffe Species Survival Plan of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Species Survival Plans are cooperative breeding and management groups for endangered or

threatened species including black rhinos, African elephants, lowland gorillas and Amur tigers.

Giraffes are one of the most recognized animals on the planet. Surprisingly, their numbers have declined by nearly 40 percent in the last decade. The current giraffe population is now estimated to be less than 80,000 animals -- about one-fifth of the number of African elephants remaining.

Poaching, habitat loss and disease continue to threaten giraffe populations across Africa.

Male giraffes are capable of reaching 18 feet tall when fully grown. Giraffes can weigh up to 2,000 pounds. They have long, prehensile tongues, which are bluish purple, which they use to strip the leaves from tree branches in the wild. Giraffes typically live 15-20 years in the wild and a few years longer in captivity.

The Ben Gogolick Giraffe Encounter is named in honor of a generous Cleveland Zoological Society donor’s father.

Northeast Ohio’s most-visited year-round attraction, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Admission is $13.25 per person, $12.25 for seniors ages 62 and older, $9.25 for kids ages 2 to 11 and free for children younger than 2 and Zoo members. Parking is free. Located at 3900 Wildlife Way, the Zoo is easily accessible

from Interstates 71, 90 and 480.For more information, visit

New Horned Dinosaur Reveals Evolution of Nose Horns in Triceratops Family

Dr. Michael Ryan of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History co-led the discovery of a striking new species of horned dinosaur (ceratopsian) based on fossils collected from a bonebed in southern Alberta, Canada. Wendiceratops (WEN-dee-SARE-ah-TOPS) pinhornensis was approximately 6 meters (20 feet) long and weighed more than a ton. It lived about 79 million years ago, making it one of the oldest known members of the family of large-bodied horned dinosaurs that includes the famous Triceratops, the Ceratopsidae. Research describing the new species is published online in the open access journal, PLOS ONE.

Wendiceratops pinhornensis is described from more than 200 bones representing the remains of at least four individuals (three adults and one juvenile) collected from a bonebed in the Oldman Formation of southern Alberta, near the border with Montana, USA. It was an herbivore, and would crop low-lying plants with a parrot-like beak, and slice them up with dozens of leaf-shaped teeth. Wendiceratops had a fantastically adorned skull, particularly for an early member of the horned dinosaur family. Its most distinctive feature is a series of forward-curling hook-like horns along the margin of

the wide, shield-like frill that projects from the back of its skull. The new find ranks among other recent discoveries in having some of the most spectacular skull ornamentation in the horned dinosaur group.

The horn on the nose is the most interesting feature of Wendiceratops. Although the nasal bone is represented by fragmentary specimens and its complete shape is unknown, it is clear that it supported a prominent, upright nasal horncore. This represents the earliest documented occurrence of a tall nose horn in Ceratopsia. Not only does it tell scientists when the nose horn evolved, the research reveals that an enlarged conical nasal horn evolved at least twice in the horned dinosaur family, once in the short-frilled Centrosaurinae group that includes Wendiceratops, and again in the long-frilled Chasmosaurinae group

which includes Triceratops. A nose horn has been generally thought to characterize Ceratopsidae, and be present in their common ancestor.

“Beyond its odd, hook-like frill,

Wendiceratops has a unique horn ornamentation above its nose that

Nationally ranked in all 10 specialties.The only Northeast Ohio children’s hospital ranked in every specialty.

There are about 68 million people in the United States with high blood pressure, and more than 29 million with diabetes. Even more concerning are statistics from studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that indicate the incidence of diabetes and the hospitalization rate for high blood

minorities, particularly African-Americans. “Health problems are more common in minorities.

Reasons for this include genetic predispositions or family, biological and environmental causes, as well as lifestyle habits,” says Frederick Harris, MD, a native Clevelander and Cleveland Clinic Internal Medicine Specialist on staff at South Pointe Hospital. “Often, one health problem can lead to another, especially if it goes untreated. High blood pressure can lead to strokes, heart attacks and renal failure. Untreated hypertension worsens complications of diabetes, and having diabetes makes high blood pressure more likely. The two conditions often coexist.”

Common symptoms of diabetes include:

• Urinating often• Feeling very thirsty• Feeling hungry or losing weight even though you are

eating more• Extreme fatigue • Blurry vision • Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal

Specialized programs address common health issues in minorities.

“If you have symptoms of diabetes, it’s important to see a physician for timely diagnosis and adequate treatment. High blood pressure, known as the “silent killer” typically has no symptoms, so it’s important not only to monitor it routinely, but to control it” says Dr. Harris.

In an effort to better serve the largely African-American population living in the neighborhoods surrounding South Pointe, minority health services available at the hospital have been expanded with the goals of:

• Providing additional education • Increasing the number of people participating in

preventive health screenings (which can lead to earlier diagnoses)

• Improving access to services

Dr. Harris says, “It is imperative that you have a primary care physician to serve as your advocate and guide to see that you get these timely diagnostic and preventive services.”

Dr. Harris sees patients at the Severance Medical Arts Building in Cleveland Heights. To make an appointment with Dr. Harris or another internal medicine physician on staff at South Pointe Hospital, please call 866.733.6363. Cleveland Clinic offers same-day appointments.

shows the intermediate evolutionary development between low, rounded forms of the earliest horned dinosaurs and the large, tall horns of Styracosaurus, and its relatives,” said Dr. Michael Ryan, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and co-author of the study. “The locked horns of two Wendiceratops could have been used in combat between males to gain access to territory or females.”

Dr. David Evans, Temerty chair and curator of vertebrate palaeontology at the Royal Ontario Museum in

Toronto, Canada, and co-author of the study said, “Wendiceratops helps us understand the early evolution of skull ornamentation in an iconic group of dinosaurs characterized by their horned faces. The wide frill of Wendiceratops is ringed by numerous curled horns, the nose had a large, upright horn, and it’s likely there were horns over the eyes too. The number of gnarly frill projections and horns makes it one of the most striking horned dinosaurs ever found.”

The recognition of Wendiceratops affirms a high diversity of ceratopsids

likely associated with a rapid evolutionary radiation in the group. It also helps document high faunal turnover rates of ceratopsid taxa early

in their evolution, coupled with some degree of ecological niche partitioning during this time.

The name Wendiceratops (Wendi + ceratops) means “Wendy’s horned-face”, and celebrates renowned Alberta fossil hunter Wendy Sloboda, who discovered the site in 2010. This is a well-deserved honor for Sloboda, who has discovered hundreds of important fossils in the last three decades, including several new species. The name “pinhornensis” refers to Pinhorn Provincial Grazing Reserve, where the quarry was found.

This dinosaur is the latest in a series

of new finds being made by Ryan and Evans as part of their Southern Alberta Dinosaur Project, which is designed to fill in gaps in our knowledge of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs in North America and study their evolution. This project focuses on the paleontology of some of oldest dinosaur-bearing rocks in Alberta, as well as rocks of neighboring Montana that are of the same age. A full-sized skeleton and exhibit profiling Wendiceratops is currently on display at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, and the dig uncovering it appeared in the HISTORY Channel documentary series Dino Hunt Canada.

County Applauds Village of Walton Hills & Sagamore Hills Township on Joint Economic Development District The Village of Walton Hills and

Sagamore Hills Township, in conjunction with Cuyahoga County and Summit County, recently announced the Joint Economic Development District (JEDD)

that will help retain and develop businesses within the district. The JEDD will also create and retain employment opportunities for residents in both communities, which will provide an

economic boost to Cuyahoga County.“The partnership between two

communities, residing in two separate counties, shows the progress that we are making with regional collaboration,” said

County Executive Armond Budish. “Cuyahoga County and Summit County coming together to create economic opportunities for our region is a great example of how both parties are working towards the same goal, improving life for our residents.”

The JEDD will allow for the Village of Walton Hills and Sagamore Hills Township to consider means to improve cost-effective governmental services within the JEDD, including the potential construction of a fire station to promote regional collaboration. The Village of Walton Hills will collect and administer the JEDD’s applicable income tax, which will provide economic growth for Cuyahoga County, and stability and cooperation for Sagamore Hills Township.

“The Village of Walton Hills appreciates Cuyahoga County joining in this unique economic development partnership,” said Mayor Kevin Hurst, Village of Walton Hills. “The Joint Economic Development District agreement between the Village of Walton Hills and Sagamore Hills Township provides a financing mechanism to fund infrastructure and the implementation of an economic development plan for the district. I thank all of the parties that have assisted the Village in this process including the trustees of Sagamore Hills Township, Summit and Cuyahoga counties for their quick action and participation.”
