Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens Los Angeles Zoo News 2018

A black rhino?! I don’t believe the zoo has ever had this species before? Is it moving into the former Indian rhino exhibit?
 
I note the death of one female Hawaiian Short-eared Owl...

A bird which there seemed to be confusion over as to whether it was still at the zoo or not. (Now, definitely not).

As far as I could tell she was simply off-exhibit for the last several years. As such I unfortunately never got to see her...

“Progressive leadership at the zoo could make it possible for Billy to leave … and move to a sanctuary without continuing to drag City Council politics into the matter.”
Says the councilman currently bringing politics into the matter. Koretz is an idiot. Wonder if he ever accepted that invitation that Lewis gave to tour the elephant complex?

I guess not, especially for the sake of petty partisanship and keeping the "Free Willy" attitude alive for his voter base (one that ironically killed Willy, AKA Keiko).
 
This is why zoos should not be connected to local governments. Thankfully my local zoo finally got out from under city parks department earlier this year.
 
I don' know if this is valid in general. At least here in Western Europe, zoos run by government/public have their advantages imo.
