    Jaguar twins have been born to first time parents. They are now 4 weeks old and visible via a cam in the South American Temple.

    One from Amur litter has died according Granby fb.

    "La mortalité des jeunes est toujours plus élevée dans les premières semaines suivant la naissance. Malheureusement, c’est cette réalité qui s’est avérée pour l’un de nos deux bébés et les causes n’ont pu être déterminées."

    Granby's first baby of 2016.. A giraffe calf born Jan 11th to mom Masai (who is a reticulated) and Garth. The birth brings the herd to 5 with females Kisumu and her 4 year old daughter Kigali. Because none of these animals are pedigreed the SSP will not place any calf produced by them.

    The zoo is looking for suggestions for the names of their jaguar cubs. Anyone interested should submit the names for the male and female on their facebook page.

    New lions Congo and Cecilia have arrived safely, cleared quarantine and are now on display. The zoo still has a 14 year old female but male Nairobi and female Sleet were put down in the fall and early winter respectively due to age related conditions.

    A female macaque infant was found abandoned by keepers. The little one is being hand reared for the time being with the hope of returning her to the troop at some point.
