Oh okay, makes sense then. Areas not to miss include the entire rainforest area, Africa Rocks and the outdoor Reptile Canyon. Any particular animals you want to see?
I did San Diego in a day, it wasn't too challenging at all. Given I was alone, although I did have my camera with me so lingered at several enclosures for photography. Its not as spread out a site as I expected. Utterly superb though, I loved it.
The zoo just announced on Twitter that 39 Mang mountain pit vipers hatched behind the scenes at the Reptile House!
I also did San Diego in a day, though I did miss a few minor areas. Was fabulous though, saw almost everything I wanted to! Could have easily spent 2-3 days.
I also did San Diego in a day and I saw absolutely everything, but it did take 11 hours! For San Diego, I think 2 days is ideal, but it can be done in 1 day.
I know, but the official vernacular remains Mangshan pit viper. LINKs: IUCN Red List of Threatened Species Population status, distribution and conservation needs of the Endangered Mangshan pit viper Protobothrops mangshanensis of China | Oryx | Cambridge Core
Here is an article about zookeeper statistics at the zoo: Women outnumber men as keepers and trainers at the San Diego Zoo
"The San Diego Zoo is at the forefront of female empowerment." Hello, women outnumber men as zookeepers at almost every zoo in America. How is this article news? No offense to the person who posted, but it just seems like they are trying to make their local institution seem unique when it is a nationwide trend.
Eloise, the siamang, who is 37 years old and on birth control surprised everyone when she gave birth to a baby on exhibit on Monday. I will post a photo in the gallery.
I went today Nov. 13th and the trail was closed again for painting. I won't be able to check again until the end of the month.
That's pretty old for a siamang, if I'm not mistaken. Do you think this will effect how well she'll be able to raise this baby?
