    That was fast ... (considering the new female only arrived early this year)!

    Terrible news about Sunny. I remember seeing him in San Diego back in 2012. I really hoped he and Nancy would’ve produced offspring.

    Having checked out the video, I'm happy to hear the long-awaited saltwater croc exhibit will be constructed, along with the addition of rock wallaby and dingo as mentioned at the end of the article. I wonder if the red kangaroos and emus will find a new home here, as well as the return of koala. Maybe I'm over-reading it, but interesting that they'd want to move all Australian animals to the new area - how much space is in the area? Plus the current Aussie region is already right next to the pinnipeds.

    I didn't realize they no longer have koalas. That is a shame because they had a very good exhibit I thought. Also glad to hear the crocs will finally be moved out of their warehouse-turned-exhibit which is a monstrosity.
