    I lucked out the second time I went to the Wilds last year. The first time, the dholes hid in the back of their enclosure; the second time they were out in the open, lounging about under a pair of trees.

    The two cheetahs cubs have received their names: Pipi (Swahili for candy) and Roho (Swahili for ghost). Fitting for their October 31st birthday.

    Philadelphia zoo's 3 male cheetahs Micha, Speedy and Rasi recently moved to The Wilds where they will meet potential mates and give them the opportunity to possibly father cubs of their own.

    I haven't heard any new news or rumors on adding wolves but I also have not been back to the Wilds since then. Sorry.

    Seems a lot of places are releasing news about Hellbenders this year. Though they're all Eastern Hellbenders, don't the Ozark Hellbenders deserve some love as well? Or are there none in captivity?

    I thought Saint Louis was pretty involved with Ozark Hellbenders. Aren't they close to their range?
