A Life in the Wild – Thomas D. Mangelsen

June 19 - September 10 Free with admission

A LIFE IN THE WILD is a special exhibition showcasing 40 of Thomas D. Mangelsen’s signature, award-winning photographs of landscape and wildlife in the Detroit Zoo’s Ford Education Center through September 10. Mangelsen, a renowned American nature photographer, has traveled throughout the world for nearly 50 years observing and photographing the Earth’s last great wild places. Polar Dance, for example, is a whimsical portrait of polar bears appearing to prance in the Arctic that National Geographic called one of the most important of our time for getting viewers to ponder the consequences of climate change.

The exhibition is free with Zoo admission.
