That doesn't make much sense.
Has anything been reported/published about this? I had no idea the camel rides had even permanently closed
The Zoo made it into an article about Stephen Sondheim (almost at the end): Stephen Sondheim, as Great a Composer as He Was a Lyricist
My question exactly.
On December 3rd, the zoo announced they have acquired a (0.0.1) Matschie's tree kangaroo from an undisclosed facility and was focused on an episode of The Zoo that aired on December 4th.

It was 0.1 "Polly" from San Diego Zoo Safari Park
For the first time ever, the zoo has managed to successfully breed Komodo dragons.

It was also announced that some of the babies were on exhibit in the World of Reptiles building.
I think they have four adults? Or they did at some point in recently. Definitely more than two.

She came from San Diego and in fact had been featured on one of the episodes of Zoo San Diego, so she's made it onto two of the zoo series.
This is awesome, especially considering that the first male-female introduction we saw on "The Zoo" resulted in the female biting the male seriously enough to draw blood. I'm not sure, but he may have needed stitches. Part of the problem was that she was bigger than he was at the time.
Currently 4.1.6
Maybe one of you with a better memory than mine can chime into this thread and be sure the Bronx's collection of Madagascar species is duly noted: Malagasy animal species in zoos
The zoo's reported on Facebook that they now have Blue-Headed Wood-Doves, a Bornean Crested Fireback, a Red-Crested Turaco chick, and a Temminck's Tragopan in World of Birds. Not sure if the tragopan is one they've bred this past year or simply an individual they moved from elsewhere.

Updates from my visit today
- It appears they have 2 baby baboons although one seems a lot older than the other
- A lot of animals are not outside for the winter including gorillas, rhino, okapi, and giraffes although you can see them inside.
- I don’t know if it is knew because I hadn’t visited in a while but they have a gorilla indoor holding viewing area
- No snow leopards were visible in any of the 3 exhibits
- Monorail and Children’s zoo are closed for winter
Warmer climate species are typically off-exhibit during the winter and the gorillas have always had an indoor winter viewing area. The wall is retractable so it's hidden when the apes are outside.
The monorail and children's zoo have never remained open during the winter season.

Thank you I never knew that about the indoor gorilla viewing.
