    By the way, her name is Aria, and she's about 8 years old. Her mate Kendi, who is 5 years old, will likely join her in Honolulu in the near future.

    Would ya quit speculating here? I get the first bit of information would be pertinent, but the second bit has a pretty likely chance of not happening. Keep it together, mate.

    https://www.khon2.com/hawaii-travel/aloha-honolulu-zoo-welcomes-three-new-fennec-foxes/

    According to the Honolulu Zoo, the male and female arrived April 22, 2022, after being confiscated from a farm.

    The male fennec fox, Aukai, and the female, Moana, were required to stay in quarantine for more than 100 days.

    During that time Moana gave birth to a male kit named Vaitea on June 12, who is currently being housed at the veterinary hospital.

    Female Malayan sun bear Scruffy has arrived from Cleveland. Since Honolulu’s male, Blackie, came from Cleveland in 2008, this is a reunion for the two bears. :)
