I have received a reply from Guest Care at Denver regarding female Amur Leopard Dazma. She passed away "about a year ago" they said.
I asked a keeper the same question a while back, and got the same answer.
Anyway, just a couple of minor updates:
The construction walls around the new animal hospital have come down. You can walk into the outdoor area now, but the walkways leading up to the main doors are roped off. Still not sure if it's functioning yet or not.
The errant sloth appears to have taken up residence with the flamingos in their winter quarters. This per a video on the zoo's Facebook page. They're also offering a behind-the-scenes encounter for a couple hundred bucks.
All indoor viewing exhibits/buildings are closed except for the Tropical Discovery building. Entry here is limited (not sure on numbers), and is staffed at all times. One group in, one group out.
The bachelor troop of gorillas appear to be adjusting well. Had the chance to watch them for a while today, and they had a grand time chasing and wrestling each other. This might be the most active I've seen them since they arrived.
Mushroom shaped climbing structures with convex tops have been added to the larger of the two main tiger yards.
I think that's all of the pertinent information for now. That, and the 30th Anniversary of Zoo Lights is going on.
