    The zoo hours have went to 11am to 4pm. The zoo buildings along with Komodo Kingdom Cafe are now open after being closed since early last year.

    Look for Clawdia the blue lobster’s new exhibit to replace the bamboo shark exhibit or the Ohio great water fish exhibit.

    Clawdia the blue lobster will debut on Saturday in the former freshwater fish habitat next to the Komodo Kingdom Cafe entrance in Komodo Kingdom. The freshwater fish have been moved to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

    Red wolves released in eastern N.C. - Washington Daily News

    Four of the Akron Zoo's red wolf litter have been reintroduced in eastern North Carolina. This is the first time since 2014, captive-born cubs have been placed in a wild den. The USFWS has wavered on the program and reintroduction, but appears to be committed to at least sustaining it at its current small size.

    Good one!

    BTW: 2021 saw 3 new pairs established in AZA zoos to re-invigorate the captive-breeding program.
