    The Brazilian porcupine came from Cleveland. He is their porcupette from earlier this year.

    And as for your other inquiry, I will message you privately on the matter.

    The zoo has deleted all of its social media accounts after the constant Harambe memes attacks and criticism after they expressed their dislike of the jokes. Thane's personally accounts were also hacked. They should have known better to not asked the internet to stop doing something but man, I hate the internet.

    It was just their Twitter, and moments later they reactivated it.

    The zoo has been completely evacuated after a bomb related threat was made to the zoo over the phone. K9 units are searching around the zoo at the moment. This is all the info that has been released. Some sources say this and some don't but apparently a suspicious package was sent to them as well today.

    Why do I have a feeling this has something to do with Harambe.

    The second giraffe calf is also a female, and her keepers have named her Zoey.

    What are some species kept off exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo? I know they breed Pottos and armadillos, and most likely have several bird species off public view.
