Bronx Zoo Bronx Zoo News 2020

Saturday's episode of The Zoo featured the journey of the 3 new dholes from San Diego, as well as a great look at the renovations to Tundra's old exhibit in preparation for them. One of my favorite segments/episodes of the new season so far!
A good TV producer can make almost anything look good, but, from the episode, the three brother dholes are really beautiful animals in a beautiful exhibit.
 
A couple people I know but they didn't give me any info about where they got it from.They just said "I heard that the Bronx Zoo is opening their outdoor exhibits".
I don't know who told them that.
I thought it was a longshot too.
 
The zoo has started hiring part-time/summer workers this past week to reopen. I would imagine late this month is likely. This includes dining, gift shops, and monorail drivers.

If they do reopen,it would be too bad because all of the zoo's best exhibits are indoors and the zoo would likely open the outdoor areas.

African Plains, Baboon Reserve, the Wild Asia Monorail (with social distancing...?), Tiger Mountain, Himalayan Highlands, the new dhole exhibit, the grizzly bear exhibit, the Northern Ponds and Astor Court (to name a few) all beg to differ.

Not to mention Congo Gorilla Forest!

I do hope they allow the monorail to run with some sort of distancing rules.

It'd be nice if they allowed people in the houses with limited capacity but that's probably wishful thinking.

They could do so if the Governor enacted a phase in which social distancing/mask usage was enacted indoors and as such, the buildings (e.g. Congo, JungleWorld, Madagascar, World of Birds, World of Reptiles, the Mouse House, etc.) operated at 25-35% capacity. (That being said the lines would literally and metaphorically be through the roof depending on any particular exhibit's popularity.)
 
I think they could start by opening the smaller indoor exhibits such as World Of Reptiles,World Of Birds,The Mouse House,and the Aquatic Bird House before opening the heavy-hitters like Congo,Jungleworld,and Madagascar.
