    The Marabou has been relocated to the Pelican Lagoon (now called African Wetland) from the Tropical wetland exhibition. I believe this can the dangerous for the lemurs and the smaller birds.

    Kobe is having a limited beetle exhibition for the summer between July 14 until 2 September. Species will include Homoderus mellyi, Lamprima adolphinae, Megasoma elephas, and Dynastes hercules and 26 other species. Visitors can also take a picture with a Hercules beetle on a stick.

    A lowland tapir will be arriving from the Kyoto city zoo to Kobe animal kingdom

    The father binturong has been brought to Yokohama Hakkeijima sea paradise, and was introduced to another female from ichihara elephant kingdom.

    The park has announced the arrival of the tapir from Kyoto. The park has also announced the arrival of a male cougar and if google chrome's translations are correct the cougars will rotate within their exhibits.

    While I didn't come across the park announcing it in social media, the park's website has listed the scarlet macaw to their animal list.

    The park has announced a pair of new "ambassabors" for the night zoo event. The parks official facebook has revealed a carpet python, while the Chinese fan page has shown a fledgling brown wood owl.

    I just found some pictures of the construction of the pygmy hippopotamus on the flickr account of what seems like a regular visitor. However I don't know if I would be breaking any rules if I am to share the link to these pictures.

    Assuming that there is only one animal intended for exhibition my concerns might be lessened. However, the entry from Higashiyama zoos website did say a breeding loan. And when the loan ends what will happen to the enclosure? So many questions...

    I have been neglecting to give new updates since I keep forgetting my password while experiencing the college life. Koume has arrived to Kobe and on November 10 her enclosure was open for public view.

    The tegu and "carpet" python has been added to the park's animal list on the website which says that they are exhibited at the tropical forest exhibit. The "carpet" python is said to be a Bredl's python.

    Kobe animal kingdom will stop using single use plastic items and will be replacing them with paper or metal items instead.
