Alameda Park Zoo Alameda Park Zoo News

This is great for the little zoo! This zoo is nice, but is extremely small. The Biggest eye soar is the Capuchin cage, even though they are very entertaining. In my last visit one of them was picking the lock of the cage with a twig! This zoo does deserve the funding for projects like this, as well as looking forward to a future reptile house as well!!
 
So apparently this zoo is no longer with the AZA? They are not on the list of currently accredited zoos on AZA's website, but I can't find any news articles or reports about it.

I just saw the exact same thing, is it that this zoo is so small no local media outlet reported it or did the zoo keep it under raps?
 
This piece of news is from about 1.5 months ago, but a renovated Education Center opened. Other recent improvements include two new primate exhibits (one for patas monkeys and African crested porcupines, another for capuchins), a new perimeter fence, and the addition of a male springbok to join the female (When did this Zoo get the species as this is the first time I’ve seen them mentioned?).
