The male Sumatran Orangutan infant, Roux, has finally been reintroduced to his mom Menari. She is doing a fantastic job caring for him and has even begun nursing him! He has also been introduced to the troop’s 4 other females (Feliz, Reese, Bulan, and Madu) and everyone has shown positive interactions.

Sadly Southern sea otters Ruby and Clara will leave the zoo while their enclosure undergoes repairs and upgrades.
Quote from the zoo's instagram post:
"Ruby is returning to Monterey Bay Aquarium, her first home after being rescued as a pup. Ruby will be contributing to Monterey Bay Aquarium's surrogate program goals, to help raise orphan pups to assist in the recovery of California’s threatened sea otter population. In Ruby's time with us, she loved relaxing in tubs, eating frozen seafood and treats stuffed into enrichment items, and interacting with guests at the sea otter habitat window.
Clara will be moving to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, where she will be an ambassador for her wild counterparts and continue to educate guests about the importance of sea otters as a keystone species. In Clara's time with us, she loved grooming and napping in kelp on exhibit, relaxing with ice treats, and engaging in training sessions with her care team."
The zoo hopes to welcome other sea otters in the future.

The zoo doesn't keep sea otters, the aquarium does and the thread is the one I posted before this post.
