I received an update a month ago that a pangolin was born. No new updates on them since.
that's great news. what Exhibit do yo think they will be in?
I have no idea, will have to wait and see what happens I guess.
Mabey habitat Africa Either way it will defanitly give the zoo some recognition in the zoo community.
The Brookfield Zoo already has a long standing tradition of being a leader in American zoos. Recognition isn't something they strive for or need, but innovation is what they seek. A pangolin program in one of the country's best zoos will hopefully give more recognition to a taxa that's quickly disappearing.
I'm so disappointed to hear this! During my first trip to Brookfield Zoo thirteen years ago, seeing the aardvarks was the moment that won me over for the zoo. I had enjoyed them so much I often tried to go on multiple visits to the exhibit over the course of a single zoo trip. The only reason I missed them last time is the pathway to the exhibit remains a little confusing to me.
What a shame. I hope they plan to bring the species back in a new capacity, since they had such success breeding them.
This is the most exciting BZ news I've heard in a while. I hope they pull the trigger on this.
However that's assuming that they're gonna put them on display.
keep in mind they are just playing with the idea but there is a very good chance they might come to one of the reptile or bird houses. the lady who I talked to said there trying to get them as a priority.
I don't see why not they are a rare species that only san diego currently exhibits. it would be a great way to educate people about such a rare animal
I Know the zoo has so many records like
Fist zoo in us to have pandas
first zoo to have barless exhibits
1st okapi birth in us zoo
oldest polar bear in north America captivity(Aussie)
that's just a few
I know they arnet looking for recognition but more well known they are the more visitors they get witch means more money for new exhibits I mean The state is broke they have to get the money from visitors.
Note: I just posted a review of the zoo if interested

They say he only made cute happy noises lately. I wonder if he knew his time was running short. I have had pets suddenly get friendly and kind right before their death.
