Toronto Zoo Former Toronto Zoo Animals

@Jefferson, any species where the female mates with multiple males and has multiple babies has the possibility of producing offspring with different fathers, humans included (in cases of fraternal twins, ect. Identicals obviously have the same dad).
 
J.J. the mandrill, who was born in Toronto on 6/19/11 to Annette and Jabba, has become a first-time father to daughter, Ruby, who was born at the Fort Worth Zoo on January 11.

Fort Worth Zoo on Instagram: "ANOTHER SURPRISE! Say hello to our newest mandrill baby. This is the first mandrill born at the Fort Worth Zoo in nearly three decades and only our third in Zoo history! Named Ruby ❤️ the little primate was given the colorful moniker as a nod to mom, Scarlett ❤️. Mom and Ruby are doing very well and have formed a healthy bond. First-time father, J.J. has been sticking close to mom and baby and our other female Sudi is also spending time with the pair. Overall, the troop is adjusting well to the newest arrival. Ruby can now be seen in the Zoo’s World of Primates habitat with her troopmates, most likely snuggled close to Mom. Mandrills are listed as vulnerable and populations continue to decline. Ruby’s birth contributes to a diverse, genetically healthy population of mandrills among U.S. zoos and ensures their survival for future generations. Stop by to see her on your next Zoo visit!"

Today I found out that the St. John's Airport, there's a display case of animal products, most of which I'd assume were confiscated under CITES. However, the centerpiece of this display is a taxidermied Chinese Leopard named Qiu, who apparently was born at the Toronto Zoo in 1987 before being transferred to the Oaklawn Farm Zoo. Her remains were donated to the Canadian Wildlife Service, and she now resides in the airport.

I knew there were former zoo animals at the ROM, but I never expected to find one in an airport in St. John's!

What part of the zoo were the leopards kept in?

Gorillas, Charles and the late Samantha are grandparents again. Their daughter Sekani delivered her 4th offspring, a girl named Jameela via C Section about 5 weeks ago at Fort Worth. The baby was a premie but is doing well. Unfortunately reunification attempts fail and now a surrogate is being trained. This is her first with male Elmo.

I did not know that this premature gorilla is the granddaughter of Charle and Samantha. Toronto Zoo produced so many baby gorillas.
 
Yusufu the male mandrill died at the age of 20 at Calgary zoo. He was the offspring of Willie who was at the zoo. Yusufu was born in Granby. But he is the descendant from a mandrill that was at the zoo.

On March 22, Jameela is now at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. The surrogate mother is Freddie. Freddie had the experience of being a surrogate mother. Jameela has also been introduced to the herd.
