Louisville Zoo Louisville Zoo 2012-2016

On September 19th, a female Maned Wolf named Savannah passed away.
2 Addax calves and a male Jaguar named LeBron from Brevard Zoo went on exhibit in mid-September.
4 Nigerian Dwarf Goats from Beardsley Zoo arrived in Louisville in September as well.
 
On October 20th the zoo euthanized Phaeo(snow leopard) who suffered a fall in her exhibit. veterinary care and her zookeepers made the decision due to her advanced age.
 
4 new Meerkats named Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, and Rajesh joined a female Meerkat that was already at the zoo, Penny, on exhibit.
 
A number of changes/renovations will possibly be happening at the Louisville Zoo in the future (elephants, penguins, snow leopards, primates) but even with doubling the size of the elephant exhibit it will still be subpar in my personal opinion:

Zoo plan calls for elephant exhibit renovation
 
Louisville Zoo 2014 Master Plan

With almost over 300 species of monkeys worldwide both Old World and New World Louisville decides to go with yet another Colobus exhibit (YAWN).It sure would be nice to get more diversity in the states.

We are most excited about the 3 million dollar Snow Leopard exhibit.

We agree with Snowleopard that the Elephant renovation most likely will not be enough and is a total waste of money.

I seem to be missing out lately of seeing baby pachyderms! Congrats to the zoo.
 
Anyone sure what all will be included in the new elephant renovation and if it looks like it's sticking to more of an Asian or African theme? I applaud their work also but I'm doubting this renovation will put them on the map for top rated elephant facilities correct?
