Does anyone know whether the Audubon Zoo still has their vampire bats? I haven't seen any references to them in the past 2 years or so.
I think that they were removed from their new nocturnal house shortly after it opened. They shut down the nocturnal house and remodeled it shortly after it opened.
Interesting; any idea why they did that?
I have no idea. Maybe one of the New Orleans regulars here knows?
Does anyone know what species of bushmaster the Audubon Zoo has?
