MagpieGoose the work on the ant exhibit is temperature monitoring.

 

[TeaLovingDave]

any one know where the Smew and Red breasted goose are going to.

Well, the goose isn't going anywhere as it was the Red-crested Pochard which MagpieGoose mentioned is intended to depart.

The zoo has not long announced the birth of a black faced spider monkey to mom Christine. Currently it's gender hasn't been confirmed but I've only seen the Facebook video posted around 40 minutes before this.

In case anyone is wondering, the father is Popoyan. Also it's super cute

Will there be any mammals added to the indoor sloth and fish tank enclosure in SOTJ

Well i don't think any would fit really , outside im sure some species will join the sloths inside not so much.

 

[Fallax]

I haven't heard of anything and I doubt it. The sloths work because they are arboreal and slow. Any other mammal would be practically invisible unless they were arboreal. But any arboreal mammals other than sloths could escape easily.

Edit: Forgot to add quotes but Azara's Agouti will be joining the Sloths outside. Leaving the round enclosure empty once again!

 

[bongorob]

Azara's agouti may be joining the sloths in the outside enclosure. The plan is for them to move to the sloth enclosure, but plans do not always come to fruition. No mammals will be added to the indoor enclosure. the idea has been considered and rejected.

The white-faced sakis also have a baby

I can't find any news of the baby on social media or the website. Do you have a link?

That's because there is non. The only reason I know is Facebook comments on the video of the baby spider monkey.

 

[Fallax]

I wish Chester would release more information. Also they really need to add to their website as it is extremely lacking.

Thats because the source is his own eyes,and those that he was visiting with!!

Of course

 

[bongorob]

Zoogiraffe, do you think using someone else's eyes will improve my bongo counting?

 

[Fallax]

Talking about bongo... have they left the zoo yet?

 

[bongorob]

they still have bongos.

 

[Fallax]

they still have bongos.

When and why are the bongos actually leaving?

 

[bongorob]

No one is sure if they are leaving, all the remaining animals are elderly females. Two old females recently moved to Folly Farm. A new breeding group will be established sometime in the future

I was very relieved by that third sentence.
