Notable details confirmed by these inventory reports:

A sun bear was born but DNS.
The inventory lists the newly-imported Babirusa as B. celebensis and the existing stock as B. babyrussa
As of the end of 2017, the zoo held 7,7 Javan Green Magpie.
A single hybrid starling of unspecified parentage was born but DNS.
Following another birth, the zoo held 1,5,8 Tuatara as of the end of 2017.

I would take the distinction between B. celebensis and B. babyrussa with a pinch of salt. They go back to the same imports I believe.

Nice to see Ring-tailed lemur and chimpanzee back on the breeding list. Also the first sun bittern to have been hatched since 1971.

I just realised, salamanders are missing from the amphibian list.
