Shark Week is in full swing at the GSC. It's about halfway through (It will be going until Saturday). I have the absolute pleasure of running the Discovery Table (The table that has all of the the shark jaws, teeth and other biofacts). I highly recommend stopping by if you are able to because there are some pretty neat things going on!
Shark Week activities go on from about 9:45am - 2:00pm

Here are some updates
- The cassowaries have been out together!
- Construction on Animal Discovery is going on to update some exhibits and view points. I have not been down yet to see exactly what's been done.
- The tree houses are getting expanded soon
- Construction for the Biodome and ARCC will begin in 2024 and the exhibits should open in late 2025- early 2026!! This means in 2026, we'll be getting the Biodome, ARCC, and the Asia expansion at the NC Zoo!! It's going to be a great year!

A couple updates:
- All of the introduced animals are doing well
- Sea Nettles have been added to the aquarium and Larval Spadefish are coming soon
- Unfortunately Babalou the Green Anaconda has passed away. She was 30 years old, and the cause of death has not been determined, but the current thought is cancer.

Some updates:
- Red Panda "Ravi" has been moved to the indoor habitat and will get a little time outside everyday.
- The construction on the Gibbon exhibit is not done. New mesh is being put in and part of the pathway is blocked off.
- Set up for this year's Winter Wonderlights has begun. Though there isn't any major additions this year (compared to last year when Revolution Ridge was added) there is still several new things.
