Their facebook page said reindeer. Im not sure but I think the Canadian Zoos usually have European Reindeer and not Caribou, which is a shame because Woodland Caribou are animals at risk in most if not all of the provinces they naturally inhabit.

Seems a no brainer if they have reindeer over caribou.
 
The zoo has a new mountain goat kid male named CJ. He's now on display with his family.
 
Red necked wallaby, Ruby, has a joey, Fidget, who is just beginning to emerge from the pouch.
 
Proposal for $450 Million Expansion:

New $450-million Vancouver Zoo to take over Queen Elizabeth Park | Urbanized

The owners and operators of the existing Greater Vancouver Zoo announced today they intend to restructure their organization into a not-for-profit entity, with their animals transferred to a new purpose-built facility that takes over most of the 130-acre hilltop public park at Little Mountain.

The project requires approval from the Vancouver Park Board and relevant regulatory authorities over zoological facilities. If it receives all of its approvals, the new zoo is expected to attract up to 1.8 million visitors in its first full year of operation. It hopes to open in the middle of 2029.

I'd love to see this happen, but it really is 'pie in the sky' thinking. I'll be totally astonished if this dream becomes a reality.
