    A new thread for a new year. It should be a big year for the zoo with the new lemur exhibit opening and work really getting underway to prepare for the arrival of the pandas in 2018.

    A new silverback has been selected for the gorilla troop. Arriving from Atlanta will be 18 year old Jasiri. Once the group has stabilized he will breed with Dossi.

    You can't replace the beaver. It built this country. All wild whooping cranes spend like half the year in Texas.

    Well, I suppose that is a fair point...

    But on the other hand, Canada is to thank for keeping the whopping crane alive while it went extinct over the rest of its range :p
