    If the zoo does another Tasmanian devil situation like Tama, the fossa might come back.

    Damn, that's a huge shame. Fossas are such fascinating and captivating creatures. I hope they return to Japan in a timely manner. Beza looks like he was a really handsome fella based off the pic in the article.

    Exhibition of naked mole rats in the zoo is on hiatus due to unexpected deaths in different naked mole rat colonies.

    They got an East Asian little grebe from Inokashira Park. I don't know where it will be exhibited in the park.

    Interesting, wild little grebes can be found in the pond. I wonder how Ueno will display them.

    @PossumRoach Do you know where Jig the maned wolf's son went? I can't find much information on him.

    Ueno Zoo is free to enter today, as it’s May 4th in Japan time.
