The Dallas Zoo has partnered with Sahara Conservation, donating $15,000 to the organization help provide healthcare to pastoralist communities in Niger. Both organizations are committed to working together to help protect wildlife and wild places while supporting the indigenous communities of the Saharo-Sahel region.
White-fronted bee-eaters have arrived at the zoo's Forest Aviary. The zoo has been working to introduce this species to the aviary for over 30 years.
See above. I posted about the bee-eaters on the previous page. They’ve been on exhibit for a few weeks now.
Thanks. I must've missed that.
On August 6th, the zoo announced that the ibises are now on exhibit in the Forest Aviary.

The construction on the old cheetah run yard looks like it is almost finished. The landscaping looks pretty much done and a brand new holding building looks to be nearing completion as well.
What will the exhibit hold? I’m gonna be there this week so it’ll be interesting to see what they did with the boring yard. Zoo North could use more energy.
They haven’t officially announced what will be moving in, so I’ll just say that it’s a species that fits in geographically with most of the surrounding species… I agree, though — it’ll be nice for the zoo to finally be filling an empty exhibit instead of creating more of them. I’m not sure how much energy, this species will bring, but it will be a welcome addition all the same. I hope you enjoy your visit!
Thanks. It should be a fun little trip.
Why do I think it's gonna house maned wolves?
On August 24th, the zoo announced that a (0.0.1) white-cheeked gibbon was born on August 11th.

It was a very hot September day at the zoo today, but that does not mean it was an uneventful day! African elephant bull “Tendaji” was on exhibit in the South Savanna habitat with cows “Mlilo” and “Zola”and adolescent male “Ajabu” today, and he was observed showing quite a bit of interest in “Zola” — including some mounting attempts. Hopefully, his attempts will eventually no longer be attempts, as a calf on the ground at Dallas from “Zola” would be extremely beneficial for the population.
