If the zoo does another Tasmanian devil situation like Tama, the fossa might come back.

Damn, that's a huge shame. Fossas are such fascinating and captivating creatures. I hope they return to Japan in a timely manner. Beza looks like he was a really handsome fella based off the pic in the article.

Interesting, wild little grebes can be found in the pond. I wonder how Ueno will display them.

@PossumRoach Do you know where Jig the maned wolf's son went? I can't find much information on him.

Coco, a white handed gibbon from Noichi Zoo is on display at the once empty gibbon house near Gorilla Forest and Tiger Woods. This marks the return of gibbons to Ueno Zoo since the last individual died I believe in 2022.

A Manul cat child is growing! | Tokyo Zoonet (tokyo-zoo.net) Three Pallas cat kittens have been born on April 13, and are being raised in the first floor of the Small Mammal House. This is the first time that Ueno Zoo has successfully bred Pallas cats since 2021. There sure seems to be a lot of Pallas cat births in the country now.
Great breeding result.
Lately, more zoos in Japan have reported breeding Pallas' cats and I assume the zoo population is growing and maybe becoming more stable and robust. Well done Ueno Zoo!

Some adjustments I saw from my visit on Tuesday:
Little Grebe is being exhibited in the Japanese Birds 1, Ruddy Kingfisher and Japanese Thrush exhibit.
Bare-faced currasow is not exhibited.
Pheasant cages next to the Birds of Prey area has reopened
African Spoonbill is not exhibited
Paradise Whydah is not exhibited
All the birds are now on exhibit around Shinobazu Pond after the Avian Flu season has passed.

Do the whydah and curassow still have their signage?
Dr. Wolverine

No, their signage is also removed.

Either they died or they’re being kept off display. That leaves Nagasakibana Parking Garden with the only bare faced curassows in the country I believe. @Veno or @PossumRoach can confirm whether or not paradise whydahs are still being kept in private collections.

I would also like to note that bare faced curassow is still listed on the zoos website, so it could mean that the bare faced curassow is either in the animal hospital or they’re late to update it.
