    Sugar Gliders have now taken up residence in "What's in a Name?" in the former fruit-bat enclosure. (Fruit bats have moved into former Giant Elephant Shrew enclosure, elephant-shrews have left the collection).

    Unfortunately this link no longer works, which is why its always a good idea to quote at least some of the story in the post, rather than just pasting the link. There are some photos of them here though, where they appear to be being hand-reared: Serval kittens at Zoo Boise 9/28/2012 | Local News Photos | Idahostatesman.com

    Auckland Zoo in New Zealand, has just received a one-year-old female serval, Shani, from Boise Zoo, but I don't think its one of the one's mentioned above, but rather the female kitten born last March mentioned in this article: BOISE: Baby season at Zoo Boise: Monkey, porcupine, skunks are new additions | Boise, Garden City, Mountain Home | Idahostatesman.com

    capybaras are not fuzzy like cavies, they are usually scruffy with long hard hair. I have observed both captive and wild specimens in SA.

    a bit out of a response out of the blue, but the links in post #56 (from June) use the words "fuzzy capybara" in their titles.
