sounds like they're trying really hard to fund raise to complete Zambezi hippo camp. They'll be able to bring in a lot of revenue with the elephant calf this August. I hope things go better this time around than they did in 2009

Fund raising on Zambezi Hippo Camp is 80% complete and the zoo intends to begin construction in January 2013.The exhibit plans look very cool and are to include hippos.nile crocs,greater flamingo,okapi and possibly and new primate species.The exhibit is to be located where the dinosaur trek is currently set up and into the current croc/flamingo exhibits.There is no word on what is to become of the old hippo house considering its kind of a historic exhibit at the zoo.The Hippo House was built in 1916 and renovated in 1955.The outdoor pools are from the original 1916 building.The zoo has a long history with hippos and its great to see them as the focus of a major project.They seem to be getting the shaft at some zoos these days when it comes to new enclosures.

The Memphis Zoos original 10 yr Giant Panda contract with the Chinese Government is set to expire next year.Negotiations are under way on a extension.If Ya Ya were to produce a cub this year which she has yet to do during her stay in Memphis then the trio would stay another 5 years at the zoo.Otherwise its likely the zoo would keep its male Le Le and receive another female.

Yet another Stingray Bay seasonal exhibit will be opening at a major American zoo. I wonder which zoo was the first to have a paid attraction involving stingrays and sharks?
