Tisa brings the herd to five, which includes: one adult male, Billy; two adult females, Imara and Noelle; and Noelle’s calf, Mchanga, who was born in December.

Visited two weeks ago. Construction by the new vulture exhibit is very nice. The indoor small animal building in the children's zoo was open with Prevosts squirrel, northern treeshrew, and Screaming hairy armadillo. The zoo has a new hyrax and I saw the chameleon for the first time in years. The biggest update is that they are working on a new Gray's monitor exhibit.
