    Here is a link from WPZ's blog, and it provides a sneak peek at the construction of the Small-Clawed Otter exhibit that opens in May. There is an illustration included of the entire 2-acre Asian Tropical Forest zone, and the only downside is that this link is the second one that I've seen this year mentioning the fact that the second phase of the complex (Malayan Tigers and Sloth Bears) will now open in 2015 instead of 2014.

    The lion cubs are on exhibit regularly.

    Adult Giant Leaf Bugs made their debut last month in Bug World and are breeding fast. The hatchlings are the first of their kind to be hatched at Woodland Park Zoo.

    The zoo has had a lot of recent success breeding felines, as in the past 7 years there have been litters of Sumatran Tigers, Snow Leopards, Ocelots, Lions and Jaguars. Each of the 5 cat species at the zoo has produced offspring since 2006, and currently with 4 Lion cubs and 3 Jaguar cubs (not to mention a new Small-Clawed Otter exhibit opening in the first week of May) the zoo should be extremely popular this summer and thus a roaring success.:) The award-winning Jaguar Cove finally saw its first babies, and they will guarantee large crowds on a hot summer day.
