The goral are only in short term holding at the zoo until their home zoo’s habitat is repaired. I doubt they’ve bred this year. I’m not sure which zoo they’re holding them for. Guide thought it might’ve been Los Angeles but I’ve also heard Akron or another Ohio zoo.
They had a male named ‘Bear’ and a female named ‘Wooley’ as of a few years ago. Not sure if either are still there though.
Where did you hear Akron might be getting gorals?

Honestly I might be misremembering. It was either LA or someone in Ohio. I thought Akron had them but might be getting them confused with the Tahr they used to have.

Ah. I was confused, then. My bad.
I saw this in a Facebook post from 2019.
One of the gorals born here, Mia from 2014, was at Oglebay Good Zoo, but moved back to The Wilds in 2021. I would guess that she is still at The Wilds, but I can't be sure. I am waiting on a message back from The Wilds, but I could end up never receiving one.
Also, female Juno, that was born at The Wilds in June of 2016 and is currently in St. Louis has parents that are unknown to me, so I am trying to figure that out. Would anyone happen to have information about this?
In regards to births at The Wilds, does anyone have anything on animals that were born at the zoo in the past 15 years?

Excited to see more hiking trails especially. Lots of interesting wildlife species, especially birds, make their home at The Wilds, and more access to view them will be nice.

I don't believe this was shared this year, but the Wilds has released a rendering for their upcoming new state of the art giraffe barn!
The Wilds on Instagram: "Your gift to The Wilds Fund on GivingTuesday will help with projects like the construction of our new, state-of-the-art giraffe barn. This barn will provide an expansive new space during winter where our giraffes can exercise while staying cozy and warm. The barn will also allow privacy for giraffe mothers with newborn calves. Link in bio."
