Ohh, it looks like that application has been going back and forth through red tape for over 2 years. I really hope they get her here someday. I’m sure that’s so frustrating to everyone involved!

Update on Azizi
Milwaukee County Zoo on Instagram: "An update from Trish, Curator of Apes and Primates, on silverback gorilla Azizi's introductions to Dotty and Nadami and how we collaborated with Lincoln Park Zoo and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Western Lowland Gorilla Species Survival Plan® (SSP) on this possible family unit. Azizi arrived from Lincoln Park Zoo where he lived in a bachelor troop. He continues to be cared for behind the scenes, keep following for updates and when they will be in the public habitat! #silverbackgorilla #westernlowlandgorilla #weareaza #savingspecies #mkezoo"

Sounds promising. I looks like a few animals been brought in to aasure and plan for some high profile events in the near future.

There should also be a new bongo male coming in from somewhere....

There was a male bongo supposed to come but then Covid hit. I wonder if a male Lion is in the plans anytime soon.

They mentioned Maji Maji was still on display, but no mention of Hodari. I can imagine why, since he is known to be an anxious individual and is less likely to be on display, but for a moment I was concerned something had happened to him.

So are the 3 big, green ducks over in the farm area new? My daughter and I saw them for the first time yesterday. Cayuga ducks, I think? They were really cool looking!
