Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Columbus Zoo Updates for 2009

The Lion cubs debuted today. The male cub has been named Kitambi and the females Adia and Mekita.

Also, the Bornean Sun Bear from Seattle, Edwina, has finally arrived and so has our male Red River Hog. We anticipate the Polar Bears to arrive within a month (yes, we are getting Aurora and Anana from Pittsburgh). Still no word on what male we will be receiving or when. The Brown Bear boys will also be in their new home by the end of the year. We also added a non-releasable Hawksbill Turtle to Manatee Coast recently.

I'm also proud to announce Columbus has once again become the only zoo to house a very rare and special species (but you'll have to wait to find out what it is).

What's with the cloak-and-dagger announcement. What do you think this is the UK forum? ;)

One question, the only zoo in the world? Or the only zoo in the US?
 
Just to let everyone know, Columbus Zoo is due to recieve Zoo Atlanta's black rhino female "Rosie" in 2010
 
Zoo Atlanta is to recieve a female named "Andazi" to breed with there male "Boma"
 
What will happen to Kulinda Kifaru? Is she now designated non-breeder due to over-representation of her bloodline?
 
According to ISIS, Columbus acquired 2.0 tiger quolls. This was not on the website a week ago. They were always a highlight for me when I visited.
 
Wow, you had to go and let the cat out of the bag did'nt you :(
