I find it pretty interesting how the Zoo is displaying the two different subspecies.

Chattanooga Zoo also keeps both subspecies of Red Panda.

Just visited today and I saw some changes. The ocelots are no longer on display. The caracals are where the fishing cats were. The fishing cats are in the ocelots area. There are bat eared foxes where the caracals were.

How much sea lions are at the zoo and what are their parents or origin?
Two species in fact going by latest genetic findings!
The zoo is re-opening May 13: https://www.bizjournals.com/memphis...-zoo-prepares-to-reopen-gets-some-public.html
A Père David’s deer fawn was born April 2:
Memphis Zoo welcomes baby Pere David’s deer to the family
Born on April 2 to first-time mom Piper and dad Freddie, the little fawn was named April.
Extinct in the wild, the birth is significant for the Pere David’s deer population.

Wait really there are now two species of red panda? What are the current genetics of red pandas in AZA facilities?
Historically they've been managed as separate subspecies by the Red Panda SSP. All the Red Pandas in AZA are also managed internationally, both are well represented and genetically "pure".
The US is the only country outside of China with the Chinese (sub)species as well as the Nepal (unless Canada has some?).

Japan and Canada have both.
Japan has everything.
A Bat-eared fox kit was born May 25:
Memphis Zoo announces arrival of baby bat-eared fox
The little one was born on May 25 to proud, first-time parents Raj and Helen. Both adults were first introduced to the public back in February 2019 and “have been a perfect pair,” the zoo said.
The sex has not been determined at this time.
