How unusual about the shark pup! I've never heard of such a thing outside of studies and readings. I'm curious - where/how do you get all of your information? You've always got the first scoop on things, I've noticed.
I’m an employee at the zoo.

Oh, how fun!! And the information is public knowledge? How exciting to get the inside scoop!
A lot of it they don't release to the general public. Heck, they still haven't announced the arrival of the Pallas cat online! It's crazy to me.

Oh, wow! Hopefully you don't get into any trouble for sharing then.
Nope. He’s already on exhibit. The zoo doesn’t tend to announce a lot of their animal updates, at least, not right away.
Don't they make you keep mum about certain things?
I'd imagine leaking stuff would get you in trouble
Yes, of course I would not leak information that is confidential. The stuff I post about are things that can already be viewed by the public.
Sorry to underestimate your fidelity to conduct
Trust me, I would not post anything that would cause me to lose my job that I love so much
Are you sure they weren't Saffron Finches? They look very similar and fit the South American theme much better.
I’ll check for sure tomorrow or the next day.
The zoo has received a $40 million donation, the largest in the zoo's history.
“We are immensely grateful for this unparalleled act of generosity,” said Dr. Michael Adkesson, president and CEO of the Chicago Zoological Society and director of Brookfield Zoo. “This significant gift will support the construction of Tropical Forests, featuring state-of-the-art outdoor and indoor environments for our great apes, as well as a series of exciting new animal habitats that will be revealed in the Zoo’s forthcoming master plan, slated for release in early 2024. This gift bolsters our ability to create an exceptional future for Brookfield Zoo as we approach our centennial celebration in 2034.”

I thought the master plan was going to be released this month?
That was the plan, but apparently has been set back.
