There wasn't even a gallery for the zoo until I requested one for my pics last July or so.

I just found out that the zoo will be acquiring 2 female gorillas, but I do not know where from, or any details. Also, the tamandua was replaced by 0.1 black-billed magpies.

Edit: The 2 females are in quarentine and will be on display with the male, "Roddy", I think is his name, next spring.

Any news on Zoe? She is the African elephant who came from Waco,Tx. How is she doing in the herd? Were they ever able to breed her? She is only 26.
 
I doubt she is breeding, as the herd of 7 is all female :D

I beleive she is doing good, as I've seen all 7 elephants together at various times, but I'm not sure which she is.
 
Two new female Gorillas have arrived from Dallas Zoo. There is a short video and it shows a very large simple outdoor enclosure but with lots of overhead cover in the form of young trees. Gets a big thumbs up from me.

Does Dallas Zoo now hold an SSP breeding recommendation?
Which females have been sourced?
 
Tufani and Makena were sent to Dallas as companion animals for Dallas's male Patrick. Their introduction didn't go well, so they were sent to Kansas City. Dallas is now a bachelor group holder, with no SSP recommendations.
 
My thoughts exactly. It seems like the breeding program halted completely when their first born gorilla "Jake" and mom "Aquafina" died. Then the original breeding male "Hercules" died. So we are now holding males, but on the bright side, this gives other zoos space to breed more!
