Empty Exhibit

How do you know they sent them away for that sole reason? And how do you know that the zoo sent them away at all? They could have just been off-exhibit when Anaheim said he didn't see the kudu.

I have not seen them since that time in my over 15 visits. Also I believe that signage has been removed for them and the website had them removed to.

Ok then, thank you. I didn't mean to sound rude with my previous statement. Also, the WCS sites are so uninformative that they didn't even include them on the website.

Its ok BeardsleyzooFan. The bronx zoos website has no information, I wish it was like the Philly Zoo website which has so much info.

As mentioned above this is the previous Arabian Oryx exhibit. The nyalas are still at the zoo but are a bit up the path from here. Their exhibit is very lush and green and has a nice pond in the middle. Speaking of the nyala exhibit, why doesn't the zoo take down the Marabou Stork sign?

I believe we are looking at the area shown in the lower left of this sign:

Indeed we are and based on a map I had that I forgot about, this was the Arabian Oryx exhibit.

Well, the latest I saw the kudu was July 19th, 2012. The signs, as previously stated, have since been removed.

I doubt that they got rid of the kudu due to the escape(s). Had another escape been the cause of their removal from the zoo, I'm sure we would have heard some reports of an escape. Of course, it's just an assumption.

On a side note, in October I found out that grey crowned-cranes (a pair, possibly) inhabited that same exhibit! Any word on their status at the zoo?

what about river hippos? could that work here.

Possible but they'd pretty much have to tear up the existing exhibit and rebuilt it for hippos. Better off getting some hoofstock for this exhibit. There's more empty space in African Plains so they could build a hippo exhibit in a flatter, more bare area.
