Koalas and wallabies are temporary....maned wolves can be lumped into EO. Like I said, I would be surprised if that was their intent, but honestly, it wouldn't be the weirdest thing they've done.

Weird as in just a strange idea for a theme, or weird as in coincidental?

"A few things i learned on the Sunrise Stroll this morning" the zoo received 10 gharials last Wednesday, they are on exhibit on Tiger Trail,
they are planning to display fresh water crocodiles in the old gharial exhibit on Reptile Mesa,
Reptile Mesa is scheduled to open on the fourth of July weekend,
the jaguar cubs are a boy and a girl, both are up to 5 pounds,
the elephants from the Reid Park Zoo are still not on exhibit as Connie can be a bit "moody"

Haven't heard of them using Kagu in keeper talks, but there are some on display in the aviary you see while waiting in line for the bus, and in the "secret" line of aviaries south of Polar Bear Plunge.

They still have the Tree Kangaroos on exhibit even with the construction. Both otters are on exhibit. Spotted neck in the Ituri Forest and the cape clawless in the Asian Passage. Adhama was HUGE when I saw him in April! Betsy can probably answer your other questions!Hi Betsy, Is there reason why the red-flanked duikers are off exhibit as zoochatter JBZBONGO said in the Remaining Hoof-Stock Species thread? maybe babies

Thanks for the update Betsy. Glad to hear the gharial import happened. Interesting that they are going into Tiger River, I would imagine they are all quite young.

I have just heard that the Parker Aviary has been transformed into a South American themed aviary and now houses capuchinbirds and the zoos Andean CotR.
Can anyone elaborate and provide a species list?
This was always my favourite part of the zoo as most visitors walked past the entrance it was always so tranquil.
On that note does anyone have current species lists for the Owen Aviary?
Thank you

The gharials are all between 3 to 5 years old. I understand they are too young to sex. The zoo's agreement says we will keep all 10 for a year and then they can be shipped to other zoos.

The exhibit they're in right now couldn't hold babies! Where would they put them if they had pups?
Aren't they in one of the former leopard exhibits?
They are in one of the old (horrible) exhibits on Park Way. What I used to call Dog and Cat Canyon and is now called "Africa Rocks". I believe it used to house hyenas. I thought the female was too old to breed but I got my information from a bus driver. If I see a keeper in the area I will try to get more information.
