The zoo mentioned on Facebook that the cougars will get the dingo exhibit in Tiger Terrace. The dingos and maned wolves will be rotated in the maned wolf exhibit.
A welcome change!
I kinda liked the whole "African" theme Tembo Trail originally had, unless it's going for a "Grasslands of the World" feel.
Toledo’s Bornean orangutan Khali is now at Columbus.
Neat project for an iconic Samoan bird species.
What animals are going into the Museum again?
Only coconut crab and Komodo dragon have been confirmed so far.
From Facebook:
Swaagat, Aashish. Welcome, Aashish.
The Zoo is excited to introduce a new three and a half year old male Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) as its newest resident. Aashish arrived today from his birth place, The Wilds in Cumberland, Ohio, as part of a Species Survival Plan recommended move. He is currently being quarantined on exhibit in Tembo Trail while he is viewable to the public.
Indian rhinoceros, also known as greater one-horned rhinos, are native to India and Nepal. They are 10 – 12 ½ feet in length, stand about six feet tall at the shoulder and weigh 4,000 – 6,000 pounds. Their trademark horn can be 8 - 24 inches long.
Indian rhinos are listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as Vulnerable with a wild population of less than 3,000 animals. The main threat to Indian rhinoceros is poaching for their horn. Thankfully, wild Indian rhino populations are strictly protected by the federal governments of India and Nepal and are currently increasing.
