    True, although most of the tortoises and some lizards also had food dishes in their exhibits, but no cockroaches on any of the others so who knows.

    They're focusing on Masai then. Any idea if the zoo will retain a Reticulated or two as well? (Besides their current geriatric female)

    I guessing here right not, but putting 1+2=4 I reckon they will move up to Masai giraffe. Reticulated/Nubian US SSP is hopelessly damned (and hybrid inbred)!

    The world's largest living dinosaur has returned to the Sacramento Zoo! No, those janky animatronics aren't back, I'm talking about the common ostrich! Two female ostriches, Cinnamon and Clove, recently arrived in from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

    The crocodilians are in the house! The South Lake is now home to six male American alligators.

    The kinkajou profile was removed from the zoo's website. Although the zoo usually takes a while to add new species to the website, they're usually pretty good about removing them once something happens (i.e. they pass or are sent to another facility).

    Must have passed. She was pretty old. The only animal at Sac Zoo within the last 10 years I never saw. :confused:

    (African Pygmy Falcon doesn't count because they never appeared to be out anywhere nor stay very long! :p)

    Ouch. Wonder what happened.
    (Tbh I don't think Newsom wants to let anywhere open yet, and I question how whether he even cares)

    That is good news. Would be a good zoo baby to have after all this for the draw factor.
