    Where is the bobcat exhibit at the National Zoo? Is it the small cat exhibit over by the lions and tigers?

    Yes. A small shoot-off path has two exhibits. One is for bobcat and another is for caracal.

    A Facebook post from the Nashville Zoo indicates that that's where our Andean/spectacled bear cubs went. They left last May.

    Oops. Thought all the Andean bears moved to Nashville. Sorry for oversharing pointless stuff.

    No worries. We hopefully will get a male for breeding soon, but I have no other details.

    The outdoor birds exhibits at the Bird House will close on March 1st. My guess is that is when construction on the building starts.

    The zoo will be closed from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM on February 21 due to Bao Baos departure.
    If you would like to watch her departure the zoo will be broadcasting it live from their Facebook.

    I believe the grounds open at 8:00 AM. I have no idea why they didn't just say the zoo opens at 12:00 PM instead of 8:00 AM, but who really cares besides me.
