I get to Chicago every so often and the LPZ is always on my itinerary. They do a lot in a small space but yes, the cat house badly needs an upgrade or a replacement.
Renovations are set to begin on the seal habitat. https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/201...s-will-get-more-room-shade-with-exhibit-rehab

There are some mistakes in that article. The mother to the new baby is actually Izumi, a first-time mom. Ono is still caring for her son Obu.

A kagu was put on exhibit on January 5th. Anyone know if the drill monkeys are still here? If so, where at? I might be able to visit in a few months.
They are not. Your best bet to see Drill are Detroit Zoo or Zoo Atlanta. Not sure if San Diego still has them? If so, they are off-show.
Thanks. I believe (if she's still alive) that San Diego has one female that was used for their "Frozen Zoo". If the rest of my numbers are right, here are current standings: Atlanta: 5-7 Detroit: 2 Audubon (New Orleans): 3
I believe Audubon Zoo does not hold them anymore. The institutions and numbers listed on The Drill Project website are nearly five years old.
You must have them confused with the new Mandrills from Lowry Park Zoo and Bronx Zoo that took residence in the old Orangutan exhibit. The Orangutan have a new exhibit in the former Elephant exhibit.
Possibly. Thanks for all the info, though... At least it seems that Zoo Atlanta will have drills around for a while.
