Ben the Asian black bear was euthanized. Philadelphia Zoo's 23-year-old Asiatic black bear, Ben, dies
No, the black footed cats are in the big cats building and one of them will move to the UK. Philadelphia Zoo only has one fossa that they just received to be on exhibit.
Sorry to but into this thread but I would dearly love to see a black footed cat. Do you know where in England this will go? So few places have the smaller cats now, they are getting increasingly difficult to find :-(
I was told that was the main reason for their removal, because they were moving some of the birds around and wanted to update cards. That was in June, though. I'm really excited for the fossa! Hopefully the weather gets tolerable at some point for me to go visit.
