1974 USA Spokane, WA, "Walk in the Wild" Inland Empire Zoological Society Token
The Inland Empire Zoological Society formed in 1965 with the intent of building a zoo in the area of Spokane. In 1974, they opened Walk in the Wild, a non-profit natural wildlife zoo that simulated a natural hike. Some of the nearly 200 animals were confined to habitats, whilst others roamed free. Some of their most popular inhabitants were Wally and Nikki the otters, Roscoe and Rosie the bears, Lilly and Kasey the tigers, and a trio of lions named Naushka, Tawni, and Dusty. Walk in the Wild closed at the end of 1995 due to financial hardship and issues with the harsh Washington winters.
Relieve the glory days of Walk in the Wild with this base metal medallion. Dated 1974, it was likely a souvenir of the zoo's opening. The reverse shows three animals: a Bighorn sheep, a cougar, and a bird in flight.
