    Seeni, 20, is pregnant (conceived naturally with Jackson)... A expected date of delivery is undisclosed, but the zoo is known to plan it's breeding to facilitate a Spring/Summer delivery (April-August).

    Thandi and Sukiri are also being hormonally monitored through blood collection, if either have been impregnated it has not been confirmed at this point in time.

    Fundraising for the acre under-roof cow/calf barn continues. With a $7 million price tag, the enclosure is set to break ground this year (if it has not already), and should be completely by the fourth quarter if not early 2014.
