Mexican Hairy Dwarf Porcupine- (Sphiggurus mexicanus)

Where is this being kept? I hadn't heard about them getting this species.

@TinoPup This guy was located in the small mammal building in the enclosure across from the Meerkats. I knew of them holding one off exhibit for some time now but I had heard mixed rumors, one claiming it had died and one that it had gone on exhibit. I am very grateful that the later turned out to be true.

very nice

@d1am0ndback Awesome! Is the sloth still there?

@TinoPup If I recall correctly, yes, but as you can imagine I was a bit distracted.

BTW this exhibit is now empty and a sign says it's being redone.

@TinoPup Did he ever go back on exhibit?

@red river hog Not that I'm aware of, fingers crossed for when they reopen in February.

@TinoPup I hope so, too. Speaking of the Small Mammal House I actually just heard from Thylo today that a keeper told him that they want to convert the Small Mammal House into a restaurant and that's why the collection has reduced.

@red river hog That would be absolutely awful.
