In the farm all the animals are farm animals. The cavern list:
-Jamaican fruit-eating Bats
-Kinkajou
-Axolotl(July 2023, they weren't in exhibits)
-Insects
-children's python
-Blind Cavefish(they have no eyes)
There are more species of the animals in the cavern, but I lost some of the photos in the cavern area

The Andean condor, Alba(female born in June 2020) will be leaving the zoo to Safari Niagara(according to someone who commented on the Facebook post Zoo de Granby | Granby QC ) breed with Tucker, who left the Zoo Granby more than 10 years ago.

Thank you for the species list that helped clear the mist(metaphorically).
I hope that Alba has a safe journey. I have two more questions(my questions may never end).
What african birds do they have and Do they still have himalayan tahr

They still have the Himalayan tahr and African birds are the Bateleur eagle, Marabou stork, and also some of the small birds inside of the Afrika pavilion.

Today Zoo Granby announced that they revamped the Temple habitat for the white-faced saki, sloth, great tortoises and maras. They removed the walls separating the different animal species to make one big enclosure. All these species of animal will be living together
Their message:
Méchant changement pour un habitat du Temple
Ceux qui nous ont rendu visite depuis les derniers jours ont sûrement constaté une transformation majeure qui s'est opérée dans ce pavillon. Nous avons en effet revampé un habitat pour quatre espèces qui habiteront désormais ensemble: nos sakis à face blanche, paresseux à deux doigts, tortues charbonnières et maras.
Dans un effort d'amélioration continue des espaces de vie de nos pensionnaires, nous avons retiré le mur qui divisait deux habitats pour n'en faire un seul, plus spacieux et mieux adapté pour tous! Venez constater le changement durant notre ouverture d'hiver!

I'll try to find the answer when I go in the next weeks.
I received the zoo's newsletter today that confirms that they are still waiting for the dholes to arrive soon. I was surprised to read that they are expecting 4 females (we already knew that, they are from San Diego) and 2 males!
Another exciting news, in addition to the new mandrill exhibit, the mantled colobus will also have access to a brand new outside exhibit.
They also expect to breed snow leopards and red pandas in 2024.

That is great the mantled colobus and the mandrill can share their habitat together. I think that the 2 males might be coming from the San Diego Zoo. Now that Jita left the zoo the mother and father can breed again. Since they acquired Maple the male from the Greater Vancouver Zoo. The zoo has Crimson the 4 and half years female(born in Assoboine Zoo) and Kelly the male, around 9 years old(from the Cincinnati zoo) and Maple.

The male dholes cannot be coming from San Diego because San Diego does not have any male dholes left. Granby is due to be receiving all that is left of San Diego’s dhole pack.
So does this mean SDZSP is phasing out dholes?
What a sorry state the region is in. I thought the population at San Diego stood at 1.10 individuals on 1/1/2023 (as per the The North American Dhole Population thread.
Yes.
Zoos generally don't like keeping animals that are killing each other.
@TinoPup is correct. Once the remaining females leave for Granby, dholes will have officially been phased out from the SDZSP — the population thread is several years out of date now. The combination of the extremely small founder base and how difficult they are to manage has lead to this phase-out. Intraspecies aggression and aggression towards keepers has been extremely high with this species, they have proven to be very sensitive and easily stressed, and they have done really poorly in transport in warm climates. The sensitive large carnivore breeding area at the SDZSP will be transitioned into space for a breeding a release program for a native canid species, either Mexican grey or red wolves, specifically.
Thanks for your helpful comments. I am sad though no action been taken previously to transfer the small dhole population in US zoos to a region that does have an active and succesful ex situ conservation breeding program.
Regional zoo associations should not act unilaterally and work towards global species management in One Plan Approach throughout the global zoo community. Better between regions' cooperation both at individual zoos' level as well as higher up with SSP's to TAG level needs to be forged so populations of individual taxa and family orders are managed more effectively among the regions and any valuable genetics are not lost from the global population as a whole.
In this case, I would have favored export to either Canada or overseas. I understand that within the constellation of North America the USA really really needs to look at its rather restrictive import/export policies relating to exotic wildlife in the interest of species / biodiversity conservation. The last dholes at San Diego and the 4 other locations on the past listings may well (have been) be welcome additions to f.e. the well run ex situ conservation breeding program in the EAZA/Eurasian region.
It is worth remembering that a very succesful in situ monitoring and species conservation program in Thailand could not have been established without the active participation of individual US zoos in promoting their efforts and providing much needed logistical and funding support for the species in situ. I have personally witnessed how the entire program is well run both from a scientific and management perspective.
One of the other US locations (Bronx Zoo, Minneapolis, The Wilds or Miami MetroZoo)? Or given that that is unlikely due to the interrelatedness of this population from overseas ex situ (EAZA/EEP) or other sources.
No one wanted these animals. They are not safe to work with, much less transport across the ocean. Covid also played a big roll in animal transport.
