Stone Zoo
Old 22-04-2009

The Stone Zoo is a "sister" facility to the nearby Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, MA. Both are managed by Zoo New England. This zoo has been mentioned before in the threads concerning its future plans:

Quote:
I spoke to a keeper at Stone Zoo not long ago about the up coming renovations to both Stone and Franklin Park Zoo and was told large exhibits are part of their masterplan as well as short term plans. A Sawmill Creek exhibit featuring grizzly bears and possibly moose is part of the renovations at Stone Zoo as well as a new kids area. Franklin Park Zoo is redoing their Africa section adding new species like Nile crocs as well as a restaurant looking into the lion exhibit. Also a new asia exhibit is being planned and the gibbons going to Stone zoo may end up going to Franklin to join orangs, tigers, red panda and komodo dragons. Also after just redoing the indoor part of the gorilla exhibit there are plans to redo the outside part.
$53million expansion


Now the new gibbon exhibit will open soon:

I'll post under this thread since Stone Zoo, does not have a forum. Few weeks ago, the Masters of Flight: Birds of Prey, opened at Stone Zoo. It's a BoP show, showcasing various BoP, during a few shows a few times a day. The show is free along with admission. I posted under here to announce that Stone Zoo will be opening two new exhibits this summer, Whooping Crane and Sandhill Crane. The exhibit will take over the former Duck Pond, near the cabin in Yukon Creek. For a small zoo, for them to be getting Whooping Crane, is rather amazing, at least I think so. I know, just birds, but what awesome creatures they are. The two crane species will make six species displayed between Franklin Park and Stone Zoo, which are both run by ZNE. This will make three species at Stone Zoo (Black-necked, Whooping and Sandhill) and the other three at Franklin Park (Wattled, Siberian and Red-Crowned). Not huge news, but I think it'll be nice to have these two species on display at Stone Zoo. The area where they will be going is just over 1/3 an acre. The demolition is done and construction has started. See how things turn out in a month or so.

5 Mexican Gray Wolf brothers from the Oklahoma City Zoo made their public debut recently.
Again, can a moderator please move this to the Stone Zoo subforum?
