Willow, a female giraffe calf that was born in January of 2016, will soon be relocated to the Jacksonville Zoo where hopefully she can start a family of her own.

In the recent Member Magazine it mentions that Red Pandas will be coming back to the zoo. A new exhibit is being built near Asian Highlands. In the magazine there is a rendering for the exhibit and it is supposed to open late spring 2018.

An excellent reintroduction of a species that will fit well in that area! Thanks for sharing the newsletter. I also enjoyed reading about the new polar bears there.

I believe the Red Pandas are currently residing at the Reid Park Zoo while their exhibit is built.

Two of the Pallas Cat Kittens were transferred to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, I believe it was Diablo and Tater.

Does anyone know whether the zoo will be getting another elephant to meet the standards of AZA. Or if they will artificially inseminate Christie again?

Does anyone know whether the zoo will be getting another elephant to meet the standards of AZA. Or if they will artificially inseminate Christie again?

I believe they are still within AZA standards if they are actively seeking to have 3 elephants and they are able to house that number.

Hogle Zoo's Facebook page just posted that a Author is making a book on the zoo's history and is looking for stories and memoirs from the past. Anyone want to donate photos to the project too?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Hogle and Indianapolis are trying AI currently or very soon.

 

[Jaxton]

Could Christie have been artificially inseminated prior to now and be pregnant at the moment, or is that not possible?

It is possible for sure. Many zoos what until at least a year into pregnancy before announcing it seems.

So we could be seeing a calf very soon!

The Chinese Goral have moved to the Los Angeles Zoo.

The Chinese Goral have moved to the Los Angeles Zoo.

Will they be replaced?

 

[Beastking04]

Will they be replaced?

I don't know. The Markhor are still there.

The master plan does apparently list expansions for Asian Highlands. I'd assume the new Red Panda exhibit will be apart of it.
