That has been true in the past, but did you confirm that it's still the case going forward? I don't remember the sign for the alligator being removed and the listing being removed from the website in the past. Also, that habitat has usually been empty during the winter, but now it's occupied by water foul. All this makes me wonder.
Always great to hear of babies at the Stone Zoo, particularly when I know the birth is a species that there is more demand for than what is available!
It does look nice. My concern is the amount of exhibit space below the windows and behind the wall. It seems as though the ringtails could easily be out of view. They were always difficult to see in their old exhibit even with a full window. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person soon.
Great development and probably a huge improvement in cost savings for the zoo in energy bills et cetera.
I trust the experts, and I don't feel qualified to judge them.
alligator fence taken down last was there. window is still there but no gator just whoop crane. there was also pole with strings running to fence. asked staff about gator and strings. gators are no more and strings prevent ducks from landing with crane.
I see no reason to believe the pair isn't viable. That said, whether the zoo is actively trying to breed gibbons at the moment is a joint decision by the zoo and the Species Survival Plan, and will consider factors such as genetics and space available.
