Good to see the Chinese Goral births!
I wonder where the 4 echidnas went to. There aren't many zoos with echidnas anymore.

To Fellow ZooChatters, my Latest Animal Activities updates are taken from the zoo's official newsletter ZooScape. When then specify the sex of the species I note it on the list, most of the time they don't. When I know for sure of the sex of the species mentioned I enter it on the list. Sometimes it escapes my memory.

I was there a few weeks ago and saw about 3 or 4 of them. They are definitely fun to watch!

The chimpanzees can entertain you for hours when they get stirred up about something!

What are the future plans for Indian Rhinos at the Zoo ? I've seen, they only have one very old female,"Rhoanda", 45 years old.Is she still alive?
If there are plans they have not been made public.
My guess would be once she dies that they probably would wait to replace her until they can build a new rhino exhibit. Most of the current Indian rhino exhibit was converted into a "temporary" hippo exhibit, which is now the permanent hippo exhibit because a new hippo exhibit was cancelled.
LA Zoo management is known to be working on a new master plan. If there are long term plans for rhinos at the LA Zoo then hopefully a new exhibit will be built.

As to where they were sent, the newsletter didn't specify. If I had to guess from past transactions though, my guess would be to San Diego.

Interesting, I had no idea Glenda was moved! As always, thanks for posting these Ron!

Neither did I Mario. Maybe that frees her mom more to the idea of breeding again with Kelly.
I was at the zoo the other day and didn't see her...now we know why.

Are these on-display? They would probably suit those glass-fronted exhibits in the Children's Zoo. According to wikipedia, this species is common in the pet and lab trade, but I don't know that this species, or South American opossums in general, are particularly common in American zoos.
