Groundbreaking on phase 1 for Primate Forest is later this year/early next year, correct? If so I'm going to go photograph every inch of the original Rainforest

I thought Primate Forest was just an expansion? Is it replacing parts of the Rainforest as well?
I believe it's being built off the front of the existing building and the announcement said there'll be upgrades to the existing exhibits
Probably someone who made a substantial monetary gift to the zoo...
Probably a Donator. Just like Tiger Passage is technically Roseburough Tiger Passage, or rhinos is technically Maltz Rhino Reserve. Shocked Primate Forest isn't "Timmy's Primate Forest" or something
According to the zoo's Instagram, the Pygmy Goats are in the cheetah exhibit while the cheetahs are inside.
It sounds like that was just for this morning...
Wild Winter Lights will return from the zoo's Facebook
On October 25th, it was announced that a (0.1) Malayan tiger named Indrah was transferred to the Sunset Zoo in Kansas.

I thought Cleveland had Amur tiger, not Malayan?
They had a single female Malayan, because she was cross fostered with their litter of Amur cubs born a few years ago since both litters were rejected by their moms and were handreared together.
Yep! Indrah was born at the Tulsa Zoo in December 2020, came to Cleveland in February 2021 and is now at the Sunset Zoo in Manhattan, KS
That makes sense. All the signage in Tiger Passage reffers to Amur so I assumed that's what they all were
Yep, it's themed around Amur tigers and their habitat in Russia. All the rest are...
On October 27th, the zoo announced they acquired (0.3) American bison named Blue, Grun, and Topaz from the Minnesota Zoo in Minnesota which can be viewed in the Wilderness Trek area.

Interesting. Do we know what happened to the Onagers since that seems to be their yard? Did they get moved out or pass away?
Onagers had been "temporarily off exhibit" for a while... a year or 2, I believe. I am not sure what happened to the onagers.
