    Was the tamandua you saw in the nursery recently more yellow/cream and had a distinguished black vest on his fur? If so, that's actually Tovar. Isla was in the nursery awhile back, but I think they switched them up. On main topic, thanks for the info on Lucy!

    Of course, 2 days after I make my video, Kifaru makes an appearance after months of absence.

    In World of the Insect, the old Kingfisher exhibit has been renovated to hold two box exhibits that settle along the glass. They both hold a new species: Black breasted Leaf turtles. You can also find these turtles now mixed in with the walking sticks in the large exhibit in the last room. Also the butterfly aviary is closed to the public - hopefully allowing more privacy to new birds.

    So ya the question is what will go in that exhibit. It better be something good because Yala was a gem.
