There's a new leader at the Beardsley Zoo.

Logan the Amazon River Turtle has been elected as the zoo's next mayor by its visitors and supporters.

His campaign promise was "Shell Out Real Solutions."

"Logan's win proves that slow and steady really does win the race. Logan's quiet determination and thoughtful leadership reflect exactly the kind of ambassador our Zoo needs. I know his calm confidence and steady presence will make 2026 a truly inspiring year for the zoo," said Dr. Jim Wharton, CEO of the zoo.

Logan beat out fellow contenders Fiona the Maned Wolf, Rose the Dexter Cow, Furry the Chinese Goral, and Chunk the Tiger Salamander

Fiona came in second and will serve as deputy mayor, stepping in to assist Logan during his term as needed.

Logan will be sworn in on Dec. 4
