Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden What's Gnu at the Cincinnati Zoo - 2014
- Thread starter Moebelle
- Start date
Are the antelope on display in Africa yet?
Not yet still just birds
As far as August 8th, none but the birds are out. They are, but hopefully were, in the process of training the Crested Guineafowl to leave the stalls, into the transfer yard, and into the Plains.
The Zoo re-opens the Passenger Pigeon Memorial after renovations.

Presumably for this reason: http://www.zoochat.com/65/100th-anniversary-passenger-pigeon-extinction-382031/
The zoo has posted a video about the departure of our two-year-old female giraffe, Lulu. She will be moving to The Wilds within the next coming weeks.

The male African painted dog, "Brahma", was introduced to our female, "Imara", yesterday, and they are now on exhibit together:

There were four cheetah cubs born at the zoo's Mast Farm facility a few months ago, and the zoo has put up a video:

Is anyone in the area attending the “World Rhino Day: State of the Rhino Lecture and Keeper Panel”? It is being hosted by Dr. Roth on Monday the 22nd at 7pm at the Frisch Theater. I would love to go but cannot get to Cincinnati that day. I assume an update to the Sumatran rhino program will be discussed and there will be a Q&A session where attendees can ask questions. It would be great if someone on the forum could possibly attend and post what is discussed. It would be greatly appreciated.
Look who finally started to show off their Brazilian Opossums.

The zoo has received a new male gorilla from the Gladys Porter Zoo. "Harambe" will be placed with the females, Chewie and Mara, in hopes of starting a second family troop.

Seconded. I'd love to see Sumatran rhinos one day with the species seeming to only disappear more rapidly but with only one left I wouldn't be surprised if they gave up on the program altogether.
I hereby rename the zoo the Cincinnati Zoo & Gorilla Orphanage.

I know why the AZA is giving us the abandoned young but I'm still surprised they are considering the conditions of the exhibit.
The facilities aren't that bad so I can see Gladys and what not but with like three babies now I didn't think they'd have enough room.

I am speaking on behalf of the general Zoochat opinion of the exhibit. I have no problem with the exhibit other than its size and the zoo still manages to have/had the most thriving gorilla troop(s) in the country. With now 11 gorillas in 2 troops sharing one exhibit, it seems a bit much.
I hereby rename the zoo the Cincinnati Zoo & Gorilla Orphanage.

Good name..lol
