*This whole exhibit was closed off and not visible to the public during this visit due to a chick. It should open again soon.
**I suspect these species are now absent, although I have no way of proving it.
***I did not see this show during this visit. List based on past visits.
 
Thank you for this list! I seem to remember a large moose yard, is that gone?

That is now the elephant yard. Moose are supposedly still present at the zoo bts, but I didn't put it on the list due to being unable to confirm this.

Elephants ruin everything! By that I mean they take up so much space when their exhibits are enlarged, at the expense of more interesting creatures like moose!

In the Small Mammals building, are the multiple repeat exhibits combined to make one exhibit, or are the animals rotated in multiple exhibits? (Such as the armadillo and porcupine.)

It is not a big deal, but I believe both of Milwaukee's orangutans, Tommy and Alexandra, are both hybrid individuals. I believe they brought Alexandra to the zoo to provide Tommy with a companion that was also a hybrid, that way the non-hybridized individuals could be paired together at other facilities for breeding.

Regarding the moose topic, I saw on the zoo's website that guests are also able to schedule encounters with the zoo's moose as well.

Thanks! I wasn't exactly sure what the situation with Milwaukee's orangutans was, but they were signed as Bornean and I knew they had at least one hybrid.
