I wonder what it is too
Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden What's Gnu at the Cincinnati Zoo - 2014
- Thread starter Moebelle
- Start date
They are renovating the 1935 built animal holding in Rhino Reserve.
@Moebelle- To answer your question, I saw the signage because I volunteer a couple days a week and I was shown for future interpretation reasons. That said, will you be at the Employee Preview on Tuesday?
Also, thank you very much for the continued updates on the new species popping up around the zoo. It's also wonderful news that the Congo peafowl and Andean cocks-of-the-rock are back on exhibit; they're fantastic birds.
In other news, the Recreation Yard in the Children's Zoo has also been opened back up, and the keepers will now be stocking the yard from time to time with various barnyard species that are not always available for close interaction, like the miniature donkeys and alpacas.
Also, all of the zoo's Indian peahens have been shipped out to other zoos.

I certainly will. And I had no idea you volunteered there unless I forgot you mentioned it. Dumb question, but will all of the animals be out and will this be after hours?
I don't think I've ever really mentioned it, so it's no fault of yours, haha. From what I've heard, yes, this will be the first time that all of the animals will be out at the same time, and it will be from 4 to 6

Well thanks for the info
Have you seen the finished wild dog exhibit yet?
As Kudu21 said before, Bat-eared foxes will be part of Africa, but I now know it will be for only be for a year and there will be Meerkats permanently after. Bad news though. The quarantine issue is not fixed and we will only have foxes an wild dogs for the opening, not hoofstock or birds.
there still advertising the hoofstock on there facebook page I hope things will change by this friday

Are you still going? There won't even be a single species presented. And I've already walked into each exhibit (even the fox/meerkat bubble).
How was it did they have anything out on exhibit.
I left early because it was just a get together at the Base Camp Cafe. However, after going through Africa just before it there were still sprinklers, and doors being put together and they were just testing the river and pool systems in the wild dog exhibit (with hoses in the habitat). So after seeing all that I doubt it.
I'm wondering if the zoo will transfer ALL of their foxes from Night Hunters to Africa or if they'll just send the offspring that was born on March 20. It takes 14 weeks to ween a bat eared fox.... it's been 15 or so weeks. What's funny is that when I was typing all this an advertisement for Painted Dog Valley came on TV.
I'd hope they'd move all their foxes, so then they can put another cool species in Night Hunters. Hopefully a pretty small one.

If they do, it could be a Margay. Not saying it could happen but they have a female off display.
That'd be cool. I don' think the fox enclosure is big enough for a Margay, though. Not sure, don't remember.

That's funny about the T.V ad. I took the kids there today we watched them spread mulch in the savanna at lunch time.

It's not. I wish they never transferred the Dourocoulies after the Nocturnal House closed. Same with the South American Cocomistle.
I did notice that. I had a choice to do it but decided to mulch elsewhere around the zoo.
My kids was still happy that seen some action on the savanna
Haha good, then they are one of the few because people are always disappointed after passing the Plains because they keep looking for animals in an empty exhibit. I pass them to see to if they would ask me "what's going on here?". All it takes is a quick Google search and the zoos website will tell you immediately.
