Quick question: what exactly is the 68-year old?
I didn't know there are zoos that house humans... looks like I'll have to head out to CMCZ to see this rarity!
In all seriousness, I just checked the zoo's Instagram and it looks like Princess is a female Andean condor.
Well that's odd. Princess left Philly two years ago to retire.
Oh my bad I didn’t realize I didn’t say she was a Andean Condor. She was at Beardsley since she left Philly and I believe she left Beardsley in the last few months because she never got along with the other condor.

Three Ounces of Adorable: Lemur Born at Cape May County Zoo
Tipping the scale at about 3.5 ounces, the zoo says a ring-tailed lemur, which is an endangered species, was born on March 13th to first-time parents, Felana and Darwin.
This is great news for the Zoo, it is the first Ring-tailed Lemur infant born at the Zoo in 10 years.

Two Cotton-top Tamarins were born on March 31, now bringing the troop to 7.
According to an Instagram post, one of the two birds signed as American Crows in World of Birds is actually a Fish Crow.

The post says that Loki is the Fish Crow and Blue is the American Crow, for anyone curious.
The zoo announced that Grant’s Zebra, Lydia gave birth to a foal on April 16th and Gretta gave birth on May 7th.
Updates from my visit today:
- The zoo, like many other zoos, has been taking many precautions to protect their birds from HPAI.
- The free-roaming guineafowl are in a previously empty cage across from the flamingos and the peafowl are spread out between the macaw cages and former coati cage.
- The World of Birds is closed and the macaws that live on the left side of the building are inside as well. The flamingos, caracara, and kookaburra are also off exhibit.
- Birds that are still on exhibit include the Gray Parrot, cockatoo, Scarlet Macaw, eagle, outdoor waterfowl, Emus, condor, and owls.
- According to the zoo's new map, White-eared Titis have repleced the Golden Lion Tamarins that lived with the marmoset. The toucan holding building is complete, however I did not see them or signage, so I would guess they have yet to arrive.
- Amphibian & Reptile House updates:
- The zoo no longer holds Tiger Salamander or Chinese Alligator
- New reptiles include Common Blue-tongued Skink, Eastern Milk Snake, and American Alligator hatchlings
- The zoo no longer has American Red Foxes (V. vulpes fulva), only the non-subspecific silver Red Fox.
