Took a trip to the zoo today:
• Onion the Harbor Seal was a no show.
• V the American Black Bear was out on exhibit.
• Rocket and Jada the 2 Masai Giraffes were separated in the indoor barn which normally isn’t the case.
• All 4 elephants were on exhibit.
• Ant exhibit in the lower level of the rainforest was under construction including every terrarium surrounding the exhibit.
• Clouded Leopard exhibit had a darker tint to the habitat, so it looked like it was supposed to resemble nighttime.
• The 2 small primate habitats to the left when you walk into the rainforest had signs saying animals off exhibit.
• PCA Building is closed until further notice for Gorilla troop bonding, I heard from a volunteer it could be days or possibly weeks, it’s on the Gorillas time.
• Lots and Lots of joeys had their heads peaking out of their mother’s pouches, only 1 right now is fully out of the pouch and roaming around.
• Got confirmation from a Tree Kangaroo Keeper that Modi has not made her public debut yet, she is very shy.
• Also got confirmation from that keeper that Sausi and I believe he said Tia ( Not 100% if he said Tia) 2 tree kangaroos passed away last year. He said the 2 individuals they have now are Modi and Kirk ( who I assume is Kiari) because he called him the “Old Man”.
• Also noticed on my way driving out that the outdoor primate habitats at PCA had all new climbing structures along with ropes and all that fun stuff.
Question- Was there always ropes and enrichment barrels on the islands where they use to put the monkeys out during the summer?
