    hopefully the Department of Revenue will relent and make it a going forward issue rather than retroactive

    Does anyone know why the chain of lakes past the sea lion exhibit have been filled in? Is something else going in there or are they just going to leave it as green space?

    What exhibit are you talking about? Lakeside Crossing? Or where the Starbucks went in?

    he's talking about the space between the Bird House
    and the Reptile and Primate house on the other.

    I think they intend it as green space. Used to be nice waterfowl exhibits
    and river otter.

    Those weren't there this summer. Lakeside Crossing still has a nice waterfowl collection.

    From November 20th to January 30th, 11 calves/foals have been born to six species of hoofstock, including: three Speke's gazelles, one Soemmerring's gazelle, two addax, two lesser kudu, two lowland nyala, and one Grévy's zebra. The zebra foal is already on exhibit with its mother, weather permitting.

    The ol gray mare she ain't what she used to be.
    Merah the Orang to turn 50
    Happy 50th Birthday, Merah! | Saint Louis Zoo

    Interestingly I remember an orang born at St Louis around the same time- but I'm thinking more like 1972 ish that was named Merah, but I have no idea what happened to her,
