Bali Zoo have announced via a video on their Instagram and Facebook that a sun bear cub has been born to Bobby and Bobo at Bali Zoo seven weeks ago. No official word on the sex of the cub as yet, but the zoo are referring to the cub as ‘her’.

From the video, I think that Bobo and her cub are staying in the old sun bear enclosure while I think Bobby and Lala have moved to the new sun bear enclosure in Kampung Sumatra.

This is now the second cub born in Bali in less than 12 months, not bad for a tiny island!
 
It’s Bali Zoo.

I’m not actually sure what the ratio split of male to female bears is at Bali Safari, but when I went in 2016 they had three bears, the same as Bali Zoo.
 
I've message Bali Zoo but no response yet - does anyone know if the pangolins are still on show? I will be in Bali in a couple of weeks.

Lanang is the first elephant born in the zoo since their elephants arrived in 2011. Bali Zoo have 14 elephants in total.

Despite just recently arrived in this world, Lanang has already been displayed for visitors to see. But, it's depend on the weather (Not rainy and also not too hot) and until 12:00 PM.

A little zoo review I should give back in June 19, 2022:

Since it's been six months since I visited the zoo, I'm just gonna give a quick pros/cons of the zoo that I visited six months ago.
Pros:
- Most of the exhibits are spacious and huge for the animals. Especially the lion exhibit as well as the Striped Hyena exhibit. There are very little
- Some of the best animal encounters I've ever experienced in a zoo. I've got to feed a lemur on the rather empty walkabout exhibit for FREE and got some lemurs jumping on my shoulder (check my newest pfp), got to feed some tigers, meerkats, elephants, and deers up close as well, plus able to take a photo with a lion and a tiger resting near the glass.
- The design of the enclosure allows me to get as close as to the animals as possible, which allows me to admire them for a long time.
- Seeing rarities like False Gharial and Striped Hyenas are always a plus for me.


Cons:
- The overall species variety are a little lacking for my taste. For a zoo this big I feel like it should've been filled with way more animals, especially the savannah area (still waiting on the giraffes and rhinos to finally come to that area though). Even though there are several rarities, it should be more packing imo.
- Considering the fact that Kampung Sumatra needs a tram to travel all the way across from the main zoo area, I definitely feel like it still lacks enough animal exhibits to truly keeping me engaged. It should have more endemic Sumatran reptiles and birds housed imo.
- I hated the elephant area. Simply due to the fact that I can't bear the sight of an elephant with ride seats on their back. There doesn't seem to be an exhibit where visitors can watch elephants resting for a while, and this seriously bothers me. I'm a firm believer that elephants are not meant to be ridden and it would've been better if they just transform the whole area into where elephants can swim without any intervention. On the plus side I was able to get up close with an elephant with no seats on her back named Molly and gotta say, she's really gorgeous.

So overall rating:
Animal variety: 6/10
Animal exhibit: 8/10
Animal husbandry: 7/10
Total: 7/10
 
Bali zoo has added a new members into their collection, a fennex fox and a group of huacaya alpacas and black-tailed prairie dogs.

Not much information is given, thought I assume that they may come from local exotic pet trade, which Bali Zoo didn't shy away from cooperating with.

Bali Zoo on Instagram: "introducing new Family Prairie dogs What’s interesting is that prairie dogs have a special warning call that sounds just like a dog’s bark! This is why they’re called “prairie dogs.” The name has been used for a long time, even back in 1774. The journals of the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1804 mentioned the discovery of a village of animals that the French called “Prairie Dog”✨ #PrairieDogs #BaliZoo #ExploreBaliZoo #Bali"
Bali Zoo on Instagram: "Welcome new family members, a group of alpacas! These adorable creatures are originally from South America, and are known for their soft, woolly coats and charming personalities Alpacas are social animals and enjoy the company of others, so the zookeepers made sure to introduce them to their new enclosure with plenty of space to roam around and interact with each other. The alpacas also have a cozy shelter to rest in, and plenty of fresh water and hay to munch on✨ #Alpaca #BaliZoo #ExploreBaliZoo #Bali"
