Energetic. Kind. Humble. Jack Hanna is many things to many people, but to Suzi, his wife of nearly 52 years, and others who know him best, it’s those qualities that stand out.
But to residents of central Ohio young and old and to TV audiences around the world, he’s Jungle Jack Hanna – lover of animals, passionate conservationist, author, entertainer, TV personality and, hands-down, without a doubt, the best ambassador any zoo has ever had.
Now, though, the director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium has retired from his post – a career that has spanned 42 years, all seven continents and more television appearances than anyone can count.
