They got them earlier this year. They just went out on exhibit recently. The zoo's remaining Sika deer has been retired and lives in a newly renovated area behind the Wild Prairie barn. They renovated the exhibit and have added red-breasted geese in the exhibit as well. There has not been a formal announcement yet. I think they might be waiting for them to adjust and field trip season to end. I am not sure where they are from. I know from what AZA Ungulates has posted that the zoo is now the 5th member of the SSP. If I get more info, I will put it on the Akron Zoo 2018 News forum.
