@ Ituri - You mentioned in another thread on hyenas (back in 2009) that the zoo was getting striped hyenas. Do they in fact have these animals on exhibit?
The striped hyenas are still there and I saw two of them in the summer of 2010. They are remarkable animals and I just saw two more last week at Naples Zoo in Florida.
