Introducing a fun song from your local zoo!

Here it is! An all-new song for you and your family to dance and sing to. As part of its educational mission, Naples Zoo collaborated with composer and musician John Michael ZOV to produce an all-new song to promote the zoo's educational mission. In addition to his work on jazz compilations, Zov has recorded three albums of his own, has been included in several prominent jazz compilations, and has played jazz clubs from the here to LA. His voice is also heard on one of the songs played in the Canadian Pavilion at Disney's Epcot Center.

The resulting "DO the ZOO" song was played regularly at The Club at the Ritz-Carlton, Naples and other venues. It is hoped that the entertaining and audience-participation nature of "DO the ZOO" will support the fun associations of a zoo visit and reach an audience not typically drawn to the zoo environment.

Although zoos are the heart of conservation outside the wild, most zoo visitors across the nation primarily use zoos as recreation. The potential guests drawn by this song provides the zoo an opportunity to present the issues affecting wild animals and their habitats with the hopes of allowing these new guests to become more aware of the conservation opportunities available through the local zoo and our global conservation partners. We hope you enjoy playing this song and sharing it with your family and friends.

We hope you enjoy the new song!
