Due to the commitment of Class 1 Dental and the charity of the members of the Amarillo community, the monkey moat at the Amarillo Zoo will receive a notable upgrade.

“Recently, we were made aware of a local need for additional resources by the Amarillo Zoo,” Deborah Slagle, a dental hygienist for Class 1 Dental, said. “Because the Amarillo Zoo is so important to us and our community, Class 1 Dental has decided to get involved by raising funds to upgrade the monkey exhibit to add to the zoo experience.”

Officials at the Amarillo Zoo also commented on the event.

“The Monkey Moat is the first thing you see when you walk in the zoo, and it is in need of a facelift,” Kayla Sell, Amarillo Zoo visitor services specialist, said. “We are excited to partner with Class 1 Dental to make the concrete area more aesthetically pleasing by designing and painting a mural that will stand out and engage our visitors.”
