Virginia Zoo Virginia Zoo news

The baby bongo's first day on exhibit was today. I'm most likely going tomorrow and hoping to catch her if they let her out.

What species of wallaby is it that the article is about?

a bit of a late reply, so you may have already either figured this out yourself or completely forgotten, but they are red-necked wallabies (Bennett's wallabies).

I had already got the answer, via the chatroom I believe.
But thanks.
 
I think the zoo should get rid of their elephants. The exhibit is not horrible, but yes, by the time they get another elephant, the exhibit will be small and outdated. Putting rhinos in the exhibit would be a good idea. Currently they're in the savanna area with the zebra and ostrich, but I have never seen them out there. The probably could get another animal in to replace the rhinos, or keep it as is.

Agreed. While difficult, it seems like the most practical decision. I say send them to Sedgwick County Zoo. It certainly is sad and scary to see elephants drop so quickly in captivity as well as the decline in the wild.
