Menominee Park Zoo Menominee Park Zoo News

From the zoo's Facebook Page:
"Menominee Park Zoo is sad to announce the death of one of our most beloved residents, Echo, as a result of kidney failure. Echo was a 14 year old female gray wolf that came to the zoo in 2014 from the Wildlife Science Center in Columbus, Minnesota."

With the zoo no longer housing Vervet Monkeys or Bobcats, does anyone know what currently occupies their former enclosures?
 
Some updates from my visit today:

  • The wolf, otter, and elk exhibits now all have pelts you can touch right outside the exhibit.
  • Signs are now up about the eagle exhibit, including a blueprint. I didn't get a picture (sorry).
  • The zoo's Olive Baboon, Bubba, is gone. Does anyone know what happened to him? His exhibit is now occupied by a pair of Japanese Macaques.
  • Dash the African Spurred Tortoise was off-exhibit. Her home looks like it is being renovated.
  • The Wild Turkeys and peafowl were displaying. The female Ring-Necked Pheasant looks like she might be sitting on a nest, but it was hard to tell.
  • I noticed some strange things about one of the zoo's peafowl. The zoo's pair is signed as Pavo cristatus, but one of them looks like it may be a hybrid between P. cristatus and P. muticus. Does anyone have info on this?
  • The former Vervet Monkey enclosure is now occupied by a Striped Skunk.
  • The former Bobcat enclosure is now occupied by a pair of Patagonian Cavies.
  • The zoo now has Jacob's Four-Horned Sheep in their sheep yard instead of Suffolk.

Pictures will be uploaded soon.
 
The zoo's American Elk exhibit was recently renovated. I do not know what these renovations added.
