Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden What's Gnu at the Cincinnati Zoo - 2015

There will in fact be a new species (not new for the zoo) that will replace the Siberia Lynx outside. It will be an animal that is already in Night Hunters, the space will still be considered inadequate however, they're at least getting more space and outdoors time.
 
well what is it then? And if you aren't going to tell or aren't allowed to tell, then why are you saying anything in the first place?
 
Whatever animal it is (probably a cat), poor thing. They can't erect straight poles and new mesh to give that bulkhead exhibit more volume? Shame.

I wish it was Fossa.

Also, did the Siberian Lynx die?

I believe so, I remember that lynx being there for as long as I can remember, back in the Cat House days... Which I forgot to mention, Night Hunters is starting to regain its old "cat odor" stench, the main complaint brought on by visitors when the building was the Cat House.

To keep people guessing. Considering this species is nothing new, people are neither allowed to tell nor are they not, there is no right or wrong. The animal will also be out quite soon and it will not be a "new public gem" (meaning the zoo will not announce it like it's big news).
 
Is it true that the Cincinnati Zoo actually leads the country in gorilla births? I thought I read somewhere about a zoo (maybe Franklin Park) that had 54 or so births.

Not Franklin Park for Gorilla births. Maybe Columbus, Bronx, Atlanta or Lincoln Park?

I aplogize for my obsessive behavior on the past matter, now that the page is cleared up and now that the animal is on exhibit, the new animal that replaced the Siberian Lynx is Archimedes the Eurasian Eagle Owl. Even though they have two Eagle Owls in their collection, they will not rotate them indoors and out, which makes me wonder whether or not the zoo will put another animal in the indoor exhibit. I also have photos of the new Capybaras.

They certainly had that claim at one stage, some long while ago now. I don't know if they have been superceded by other zoos nowadays though.
 
I was at the zoo today, and today was the six Kenya created guineafowl's first day on exhibit, and they were all sticking to the tree-line in the rear of the exhibit. There were several staff members stationed at the exhibit to watch for aggression from the vultures.
