Any idea what the "Tembo Trail" and "Savannah Walk" areas are? Also its worth noting that the new hippo exhibit is officially listed as opening in May 2020.The zoo finally updated their map in there app, gone is the string rays from 2014, hello Adventure Africa phase 1.
Those are likely just picnic areas. There were two of them named after the brown bears and Australian area previously, but I don’t know if the picnic areas were just renamed or brand-new.
Likely just the old areas renamed

Welcome to ZooChat, GoMarq. The news of ostriches is very exciting, as I remember the zoo teasing another bird species coming in with the new area many months ago.
African Crowned Crane
Does anyone know anything about the Zebra currently held here?
Just one Plains Zebra currently held here. No idea about the sex of the animal.
Beat me to it!
I wonder what happened to the second zebra? As far as I’ve known, we’ve had a mother and daughter pair named Zink and Kelly.
Nice to hear that more zebras are coming, along with the return of ostriches.

What are the Giraffe Woodlands and Conservation Outpost?
More picnic areas.
They are both still at the zoo. Sometimes they only have one on display at a time other times they both are. Not sure what is the deciding factor but so far we still have the mother daughter pair. Just saw both out on display last week.Beat me to it!

Good to hear. I heard once that one of the zebras doesn’t get along with most of the other species on display, hence only one on exhibit most of the time.
Unsure about the woodlands, but the conservation outpost is an African lodge themed education center opening with the new exhibit.
Oh. Well the woodlands is a picnic area.
According to the sponsor an animal information
Kelly is a Chapman's Zebra and Zink is a Damara Zebra. Both are plains subspecies

Could someone explain to me why we have this distinction but yet still dub the overall information just as plains zebra? The new exhibit signs in AA just say plains while the watering hole specifies, yet when I try to do research on the difference I’m always redirected back to plains.
Also maybe one will be a male and we will start a breeding program at the zoo for zebras?
Chapman's and Damara are subspecies of Plains Zebra.
