More than 230 years ago, presidio soldier José María Sosa moved north from Tubac to Presidio San Agustín del Tucson, where he and his wife, Rita, started a family.
The Sozas' history is intertwined with Tucson's and, on a larger scale, Southern Arizona's. Hector V. Soza documents his family's past in the book "Don José María Sosa: Through the Generations." According to the book:
José María Sosa served 29 years as a presidio soldier, until he died in 1800. His son, José María Sosa II, was the administrator of the Tumacácori Mission Lands around 1830.
Farther down the family tree, José María Sosa III's lasting legacy is in the Sosa-Carrillo-Frémont House Museum, 151 S. Granada Ave., made famous for its link to former Arizona Territory Gov. John C. Frémont.

New Baird's Tapir : The new Tapir in the South American area is quite people-friendly. He swam over to us and when we talked to him, actually climbed up and reached up his nose within about 2 feet from where we were standing! According to the sign he arrived at the zoo Mar 28. The Tapir lives next door to the Capybara, who was also swimming around and peering at visitors, and just across from the Jaguar sisters who spend the day lounging in trees..
