    I was unable to make it to the zoo today for personal reasons, however the good news is, i am now going on Wednesday! So in two days I will look for everything you guys told me to look out for and if there is anything else you would like me get pics of just let me know and I’ll happily do it. I will also make sure to get lots of good pics of the hippo bloat!!

    I'm going to go ahead and say yes and they will be for quite some time. Maybe this is a chance for their male to be out once more after months of his visible absence.

    Updates:
    Children's Zoo
    The nursery window frames now have multiple vertical signs that talk about their practice of walking wild and domestic animals around the zoo.

    Manatee Springs and Night Hunters
    As mentioned before, the Burmese python from NH was moved to Manatee Springs, replacing the rattlers and rat snakes. Now in NH, the former Burmese exhibit is now home to an Everglades rat snake

    Rhino Reserve
    I was wrong, even with two black rhino yards, and a mother and calf indoors, the male is still yet to be on place on exhibit.

    Gorilla World
    It appears that the zoo is letting Mara and Chewie out earlier than usual

    For the first time, I finally saw the famous Fiono and will have the gallery's first photos of her soon

    I have a question for anyone who can answer. When I was in Wolf Woods, near the otters and gray fox exhibits I looked out into the trees and saw an old exhibit it was a stone old-style exhibit I will try to post a picture if I can. Can anyone tell me what was once in there?

    That once held a striped skunk and then later a box turtle. A path used to go around it but once the walkthrough turkey exhibit was demolished, as was access to the rock exhibit.

    These is an AZA sponsored program, very few AZA zoos even maintain southern blacks (whose program leader is the IRF).
