    Much of Houston is underwater due to devastating Hurricane Harvey that hit last weekend. Thankfully the zoo appears to be safe, but will remain closed through August 31, 2017.

    Two jaguar cubs were born on July 20. Male cub is named Fitz and female cub is named Emma. They will go on display "in the next several weeks."

    Someone more local should confirm this, but to my knowledge this was Houston’s last Andean bear.

    I am fairly certain she was their last Andean bear.
