If Konstant has his druthers, a $10,000 jungle exhibit of monkeys, iguanas, small rodents called agoutis, tortoises - and perhaps the endangered tree frog - will join the zoo's 400 occupants by May. Other acquisitions are planned.

I was reading about their upcoming renovated exhibit for the jaguars. I am excited to hear the zoo is also getting jaguarundi! Are there any other AZA zoos that have this cat species still?

It is nice that in their Majestic Predators precinct they seem to focus on North American and South American Carnivora. It looks like the jaguar exhibit is only 1 big outside yard (with a non-viewable day yard and 1 indoor exhibit window viewable.

The jaguar cubs sex have been revealed; one male and one female cub.
