Fort Worth Zoo Fort Worth Zoo 2013-2015

Updates from todays visit:
0.0.1 waterbuck born- exhibited in the former bongo enclosure which was also expanded with in the past two years

The black rhino pair were in the same yard- which has not been reported in quite sometime. So perhaps a rhino calf is in Fort worth's future.

Elephant news/updates: Bowie, Bluebonnet's male calf was sired by Samson (ABQ Biopark) though AI! This was not previously announced, but is now on exhibit signage.
Angel (25) is pregnant again after having a miscarriage sometime in late 2012 or early 2013.

-Striped Hyena are now exhibited in the former sloth bear (and even former Sun bear) exhibit, although only one was on show today.

-Supposedly the zoo is still in the planning phases of its 20 year master plan, and has run into roadblocks in terms of feasibility and expansion...

Are you by chance referring to Colonel who came from Hugo a while ago? Other than him I wasn't aware the Zoo brought in another bull, especially with their full house they seem to have now.

I did some research and through some elephant keeper friends i believe that Romeo, from Ringling's CEC is the newest bull elephant at FWZ.
