Usually I to visit the zoo on Christmas eve, but the 18th was the closest to Christmas that I could go to. Some of my observations: -Arctic Wolves were VERY vocal, lots of interactions. In all the years I have been going to the zoo, this was probably the best time I've seen them. They were also very bold, coming right up to the fence with no signs of shyness. -Likewise, lots of Polar Bear interactions. -Prehensile Tailed Porcupines were very active; moving them to the old Barred Owl exhibit was a great decision -Got to see Ngozi's and Charles' baby for the first time; what a cutie! -Only animals out in the Savannah today were the hyenas and the Sable -Clouded Leopard proved to be photogenic for me Took lots of pictures, expect them soon
Sounds like fun! Do you happen to to know if they've seen any breeding activity in our three polar bears?
Meaghan, I was at the zoo on the 18th too! The porc's really did look good! I guess they are not being phased out anymore. There were a lot of animals fairly active that day! Update on the Pavilion construction there are mounds of dirt and lots of pipe I guess they have started the piping.
They sure were active I'm glad it looks like they aren't being phased out, unless this is a temporary exhibit. I tried to take pictures but they didn't turn out, but before they were put on display, the most I saw them was a head or tail sticking out of their box. I saw a huge trench where the mandrill exhibit once was. Looks like it'll be completely unrecognizable.
