I went last year and remember camels and bongos (I believe), but I only saw white rhino that day. Their website says they have white and black rhinos, however. I did not see any Cape buffalo that day either.
From my visit in July last year: no, no, no, and no. No camels, no bongos, no buffaloes, and certainly no black rhinos.
I was there yesterday. No sign of camels or Cape buffalo. Black rhinos and bongos were both still there, only visible from the Serengeti Railway.
I have not seen the Cape buffalo for the past few months. The individual use to be in the exhibit along the Serengeti Railway, before the black rhino exhibit (who is still at the park). Ankole cattle are currently inhabiting the cape buffalo's old exhibit. The Lowland nyalas had a baby boom of at least 3 calves this year. I'm not sure if this old news or not, but a female herd of waterbuck has been added to the white rhino section of the Serengeti exhibit. In the Edge of Africa, Red-fronted Lemurs have been added with the ring-tailed lemurs. I believe there are 1.2 red-front lemurs but I have not seen the second female in a while. Additionally, with the hyena cub over a year old, the park has resumed switching the hyenas and lions again between the two exhibits. The park reopened the Jambo Junction to public viewing with most of the same inhabitants (including the ground cuscus). A few reptiles and insect terrariums by the hyrax and cuscus have been removed. The serval is gone and the pair of red-ruffed lemurs took her exhibit. The roseate spoonbill is gone and has been replaced with two species of turacos, the red-crested turaco and Livingstone's turaco. The Kweichow crocodile newt has also been added to this section. The nocturnal section is still closed. A sign said they are working on improvements. The park had put the Kookaburras are in the walk-through aviary section of "Kookaburra Aviary". A breeding pair of Guam Kingfishers have been added to the side exhibit where the kookaburras use to live. The Thick-billed parrots have been placed in the walk-through portion of Lorikeet Landing. A pair of blue-throated macaws and a pair of black cockatoos (I forgot which species) has been added to the side exhibits in Lorikeet Landing, along with a spectacled owl, a pair of Lady Ross's turacos, and a scarlet macaw. I also have not seen the rhinoceros iguana in the exhibit with the toucan, by the children's play area, for the past few months.
Hello everyone, in a recent video I've seen that the only black rhino in the zoo seems to be Jody. Anyone knows where Forest and Bwana Chai are now?
Busch Gardens Tampa just announced S&S launch coaster named Tigris for 2019. It is a clone of Electric Eel at Sea World San Diego and Tempesto at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. They also hinted that the closed Gwazi roller coaster will go hybrid in 2020 like Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point and The Joker at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for examples. More details to come on the 2020 addition.
