Greta the snow leopard was off exhibit recently due to being pregnant and giving birth! Not sure where dairiga was sent/is currently
Updates from my visit today: Saw the (very active) Polar Bear cup. So cute! The Giant Water Bugs have eggs. The Phantasmal Dart Frogs have eggs. Review (including the new ProMedica Museum of Natural History) coming very soon!
Saw a sign saying a cavy exhibit will be coming soon in tiger terrace, where the former penguin exhibit was and tiger statue is.
The carousel is still at the zoo. There's a member night coming up advertising half off rides. Not sure why it would be off the map.
Sorry I didn't get a map to look at. The only carousel I remember is the one across from the train. Had to Google it, I forgot about that one, I know I saw it last year. We got there late and kid of rushed that day. Now I'm curious, I'll have to look next time I go.
Toledo zoo considering getting reticulated giraffe after another member of their herd passed away Ohio zoo plans changes to giraffe population after 4 deaths
The AZA/US population does not have these as such with all "noted" reticulated / Ugandan giraffe are zoo-mix and - as far as I am aware - there are no longer pure-bred of either species (!!!!!).
The snow leopard cub, now named Babochka, made her debut. Baby snow leopard now on display at Toledo Zoo
Great! A 40-50 year reintroduction project into the future. Hopefully, they can up the captive reared numbers into the 100,000splus down the line!
I was at the zoo last weekend. There are already a few changes to the ProMedica Museum of Natural History exhibit. I last visited Toledo in June shortly after the museum opened, so I'm not sure how recent these changes are: -the tropical conservatory now has a few birds. I saw a male/female pair of White-throated ground dove and a hummingbird (I believe Anna's). There are still various butterflies and snails. I did not see any herps, though I could hear a frog calling. -the prairie conservatory didn't have any visible butterflies or bumblebees, but this might be because plants are going dormant for the winter. -the mini terraria in the oak forest room were all empty. On my first visit they held small native herps and invertebrates. I would not be surprised if this is permanent because they are all extremely small and have poor viewing.
The oak forest room is the room with all the super-sized 30x scale models. Giant toad, mushrooms, ferns, bugs, etc. The first time I went there were hidden mini-terraria containing animals that matched the models.
