Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Columbus Zoo News - 2014

Even up here in Toronto there is a chance even in the snow you will see some of the African animals out. Its likely hit and miss what you will get to see but so long as the yard isnt too icy and the temp too cold there is a chance you will see something. Even ostriches have been out during snow storms. All the animals who can go out based on keeper calls can have access to their yards if they want. There are actually far less species that go totally off exhibit during the winter months than you would think. Might be hit and miss but thats what makes winter visits interesting.
 
That is the one benefit of the Southern Zoos as well. You will have random 60 degree days in January. I refer to them as "go to the zoo days". The animals are always active because the warmth is a treat for them as well.

A Southern Hairy Nosed Wombat is now on exhibit.
 
I'm hoping for Anana. Nanuq has great wild genes for the polar bear population and I don't think with his age he has many breeding seasons left.
 
Here were some changes I noticed on my last visit and I apologize if they've already been announced.

In North America, the Grizzly Bear and the River Otters switched. In the Roadhouse, the Wombat was moved into the Kiwi exhibit, meanwhile, both the Kiwi and the Tawny Frogmouth moved totether into the old Prevost's Squirrel and the Brush-tailed Buttong. Within the same building, the Children's Python was replaced with a Halmahera Gecko and the Crocodile Skink was replaced with a Guichenot's Crested Gecko.
