    okapikpr's link in the above post no longer works (which is why I generally quote the article), so I found this one still active (with news video): UPDATED: Gorilla Escapes at Riverbanks Zoo, Attacks Worker; Captured Shortly Afterwards | ABC 6 WJBF-TV

    A new tree-level ropes course has opened at the zoo, and is this the next popular zoo trend (similar to giraffe feeding platforms and walk-through lorikeet aviaries)? Louisville and Riverbanks will each have the challenging activity, and Point Defiance opens a similar project this summer.

    Riverbanks Zoo and Garden is excited to announce another new addition—the recent birth of a koala joey.

    Born last October to parents Jimmie and Lottie, the baby koala spent nearly seven months growing in its mother’s pouch before fully emerging and making its first public appearance at the Zoo.

    Riverbanks Zoo and Garden is once again making history – welcoming a record 1,029,492 visitors during the 2011-2012 fiscal year that ended on June 30.
