Riverside Discovery Center launches cool, new donation website

Posted: Updated:

The Riverside Discovery Center is going viral to bring Zorro to the zoo!

Zorro is a male coati, and soon to be the newest addition to the zoo.

The Discovery Center has launched a new online donation site called "Razoo" that allows people to see what their donations will be used for.

650 dollars is the estimated cost to bring Zorro to Scottsbluff, which includes airfare, a vet check-up, and materials needed to fix up his new exhibit.

Museum Curator Bryan Pohlmeier says this new system is an easy way to donate and see how funds are spent.

"Before I started putting the page together, I really didn't even think about the costs of what it would take to bring a new animal here. So it was kind of eye opening for myself, and I think that's beneficial for people wanting to give."

Zorro will arrive to Scottsbluff by way of Salt Lake City, and will be displayed next to the raccoon which is a cousin of the coati.

To make a donation, big or small,  you can go to the RDC's Razoo page here: http://www.razoo.com/story/Bring-Zorro-To-The-Zoo
