Jungle Jack's hands-on approach and insight into the public's appreciation of wildlife conservation have won him widespread acclaim as director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, conservationist, author, television personality, and globetrotting lifelong adventurer. Recognized around the country as America's favorite zookeeper, Jack has made countless television appearances since 1983 on shows such as Good Morning America, CNN's Larry King Live, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Fox News programs and The Late Show with David Letterman. His own nationally syndicated television program, Into the Wild, won an Emmy in 2008 for Outstanding Children's Series. Into the Wild is unscripted and action-packed, as Jack and his family explore the corners of the globe to discover amazing animals and cultures.
