    14 year old cheetah, Kilima, has passed away. She had been at the zoo since 2009. She had recently been moved behind the scenes, due to her declining health. Black crowned cranes and marabou are now living in her exhibit next to the penguins, temporarily.

    This March, Ajabu, the Zoo's 5-year-old African Elephant bull tested positive for EEHV. Thankfully, with the help of staff, he has made a full recovery. This is a great step forward in the fight against EEHV, especially after the death of Lucas in Toledo.

    that’s amazing! Ajabu has very valuable genetics to the African Elephant population in North America as his father is unknown cause his mom is from Swaziland. I’m so glad they were able to save him!

    Seems to be Agustus, the first hippo born at Disneys Animal Kingdom in more than a decade when he was born in 2018.

    I posted a review of Zoo North in this thread. I also included a list of all the species I saw in the Herpetarium. I'll have the 2nd half up this weekend probably.
