    Just noticed a huge error - I somehow forgot to put down Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat. It is in the roadhouse.

    Just a few notes...

    1.) In addition to the 10 castrated male hybrids, there is a breeding herd of 1.3 Masai giraffes as well.

    2.) The only animals from the main savanna that rotate through the watering hole are the zebras and ostriches. None of the other hoofstock or birds (and certainly not the lions) ever have access to it. That said, in addition to the aardvarks, jackals, hyenas, warthogs, and cheetahs (and domestic dogs), there is a silvery-cheeked hornbill flyover as well.

    3.) There is a sulcata tortoise yard alongside the boardwalk to the giraffe feeding shamba.

    4.) The tortoises in the exhibit with the musk deer are Burmese black tortoises.

    1. Thanks. The sign didn't list the Giraffe species.

    2. Thanks. The signs weren't very clear about which animals are rotates into the watering hole and which aren't. But what are you saying about the hornbill?

    3. I looked there and didn't see anything, but maybe I just missed it.

    4. There were no tortoises in that exhibit, but there were two unidentified turtles. Any idea what they were?
