I did not see a pudú, nor a pudú exhibit, on my visit today. The article above mentions they were near the manatee hospital, but the entrance to that area was blocked off. Is that where they were, or would they have simply been on the main path of Wild Florida and near that entrance (meaning I'm blind and missed it)?

The pudu exhibit is the yard with the Sandhill crane between the Manatee pools and the coyote exhibit.

Two Visayan warty pigs, a squirrel monkey, and two Tammar wallabies were recently born. Plus a Roseate spoonbill has hatched.
