The interesting factor to consider about any AA closure is the train. I'd think they have to keep the area alive to an extent. If there's no life...
I'll be the first to admit I'm blinded by nostalgia, but the Yagga Tree is such a unique experience at the CMZ. It's very Disney-esque in ways...
I'm curious if there's been any thought or discussion about the return of polar bears. It's been over a decade and - in my experience - that's one...
I have a hunch they'd remove seals & sea lions altogether before investing in an obliteration/renovation. There isn't a lot of space in that area...
I wasn't aware the zoo acquired the Wyrwas Aluminum Foundry. Too bad they'll have to take some time and money to clean it up. Also, I'm curious...
I remember one of the reasons why the lions were there in the first place was so visitors could look at a "big animal" while they were eating, so...
I made a late November visit to the CMZ - my first in a while. Some thoughts: Apparently, the zoo docents are participating in observation...
There were white (albino?) crocs or gators in the Rainforest's rainforest at one point as a special exhibit. I also remember a komodo dragon on...
They had three sea lions for a while. The largest was a male (Mickey, I think) He passed, most likely - he was actually born at the zoo and it's...

For the sake of discussion - what does this mean for the future of PC&A? The last time I was "in the know," the goal was to gradually remove the...
Knowing zoo and CMZ trends, there's the possibility that it's some kind of playground. -_-
[MEDIA] From the CMZ YouTube channel. I find it beautifully poetic that the next significant addition to the CMZ adds on to the Rainforest,...
I figured I'd revitalize this chat with a topic of discussion: With the birth of an orangutan and a gorilla within a single year, I would think...
We start 2022 with an update on the gorilla baby. Apparently, the baby got pneumonia and had to be separated from the troop, but has since been...
I think that's . . . all their tigers. Pedantic, I know. But still.
CMZ announced a new koala joey this morning.
AZA accreditation will inevitably be restored, and it'll be business as usual. The real struggle will be public opinion in the Columbus area. I...
More sad news - CMZ-born orangutan Daniel died at the Phoenix Zoo at the age of 15. According to the zoo, "initial pathology exam showed severe...
