I thought I already posted that? I know I posted it somewhere...
I posted it on the page before (page 10).
I must have somehow skipped that. Sorry!
Does the Bronx have Emus? I know there's suppose to be an exhibit for them on the side of the World of Birds exhibit and it's there, I've seen it, but I've never seen the actual Emus nor have ever seen a picture of them.
AnaheimZoo had a photo of one in WOB in February. There are also some in the Education Department I believe.
Can you post the link for the pic cause I can't find it.
This photo shows the exhibit yard outside the World of Birds building, with the bird in the bottom right corner.

I did not upload the second photo to the gallery.

I had seen that photo many times (including when I was looking for the pic BZF told me about) but never noticed the bird. That second photo would've helped. Why didn't you upload it?
I didn't think it was a photo worth uploading, simply. It's a little out of focus, and there are probably 1,000 pictures of emus already in the gallery, anyway.

Great news!! I like Kihansi Spray Toads. Not that it matters much since the species has been reintroduced into the wild, but will the Bronx Zoo continue to display the species?

Until earlier this year I didn't know they had Golden Coin Turtles and Roti Island Snake-Neck Turtles and now I've learned they have Yellow-Headed Box Turtles! BeardsleyZooFan, were any of these animals on display in World of Reptiles!?

On the internet-site from Zooborns it is said that the Bronx continues to display the Kihansi Spray Toads.
Yes I have since learned that. I knew the zoo would keep an assurance colony but didn't know if they'd keep them on exhibit.
2,000 were released so about 1,000 should be left. An amazing success story. I'm still skeptical weither the animals will do well or not as they seem to be getting most of their spray from man-made spinklers and something could go wrong very easily. I wonder why they didn't choose another waterfall?
