    The red panda exhibit on the Asia trail will be under construction in April and will supposedly be ready in June.

    A rhinoceros viper exhibit will soon be ready in the reptile building.

    They have had for a long time. I wonder when they're getting their Chinese cobra though.

    Two lionesses have arrived:

    They join male lion Ansel, who arrived in April.

    I saw all of the birds there except for the cranes, goose, screamer, and hornbill. Robin-chat in the weaver exhibit (buffalos weavers seen, but not taveta).

    The old sea lion exhibit is being replaced with Turtle Oasis, a native turtle exhibit expected to open in a few months. I'm not sure where, but the Cinereous vultures are being moved to a different part of the zoo.
