As of right now I'm not sure, but I've heard that the snow leopard, sumatran tiger, and a grevy's zebra might be pregnant. This is not definite, this is all what I've heard. Also a while back there were some rumors that one of the orangutans might be pregnant, but I haven't heard anything for a couple of months.

Do you happen to know what gorilla the zoo is getting?

07-09-2008

a female named Jumoke

07-09-2008

Cool, do you know if the zoo is allowed to breed her?

07-09-2008

yeah, Jumoke and Evelyn with Kelly

07-09-2008

Also Evelyn? I thought Kelly never wanted to mate with her because he saw her as his mom. (Evelyn was Kelly's surrogate mother)

07-09-2008

Well if Kelly does decide to mate with Evelyn I hope it happens fast, as I can't wait for more babies.

I was at the zoo today and at the Chacoan Peccary exhibit I got to see a new piglet. I'm not sure when it was born, but it might be less than a week old because last week I was at the exhibit and there was no baby. I will be posting a photo later on, but the photo is blurry because the exhibit was closed which made it hard to take photos.

Here is the only good pic I was able to post. The other ones were really blurry.

14-09-2008

aw,he's so cute

14-09-2008

Yup, and he was very tiny and fast. He ran around the exhibit for about 10 mins and the mom and aunt were in high alert making sure nothing went wrong. The father was just being lazy and asleep by a mud wallow.

While at the zoo today I found out that the second Chacoan Peccary female gave birth to three piglets sometime during the week, that means that there is 4 piglets on exhibit with three (1.2) adults.
