Zookeeper ‘Jungle Jack’ Hanna No Longer Recognizes His Family: ‘The Jack People Knew Isn’t Here Anymore’

Jack Hanna dedicated his life to animal rights, founding the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, and appearing on several talk shows to educate people about wildlife.

Hanna has been a source of wonderful pleasure and education with multiple award-winning animal shows to help people appreciate the importance of the natural environment.

Hanna, once a cheerful Tennessee native with an inexhaustible supply of hilarious jokes and a signature leather outback hat, has been experiencing a growing number of Alzheimer’s symptoms.

Hanna’s Alzheimer’s disease has progressed to the point where he is unable to recognize his own family.

He now spends the most of his time with his adoring wife, Suzi Egli, and their gorgeous dog, Brassy. He thinks of his daughter, Kathaleen, who comes from England to help care for her father.

The plight of the beloved zookeeper has not gone unnoticed. Tom Schmid, the current CEO of the Columbus Zoo, thanked Hanna’s family for informing him about his health

Hanna’s daughter described how tough it was for her father, saying, “He lived in fear that the public would find out.”
