I spent a few hours at Mogo on Saturday. I haven't been for at least 3 or 4 years so I have noticed a few changes. They no longer have any animals in the kiosk area at the entrance. in the past they have housed merrkats and tamarins in these enclosures, now they are boarded off and not visible.
On my last visit they had a serval in the large avairy type exhibit as you come out of the kiosk area. It is now home to a apair of silvery gibbons and their baby. The baby was out and about by it's self expolring the exhibit. I tried to get a photo but didn't manage to get anything good enough due to trying to take photos through the thick mesh. They are great looking animals and the staff at Mogo must be very proud with what they have achieved in breeding them.
The next cage down from the gibbons is still home to some de brazzi's guenons. These are still one of my all time favourites but sadly it looked like there were only a couple left.
A pair of lars gibbons still live in the next exhibit. They were very active and look to be in great health. The bear cage is now home to a tiger. This makes three tiger exhibits all in a row.
Lions are still inthe large fenced off area opposite. These are "normal" coloured lions.
Two small areas house red pandas next to the lions.
The old jaguar exhibit is now home to servals. The old snow leopard house now has servals.
A pair of otters still live in the middle pond above the servals.
The row of exhibits above the otters house pygmy marmasets, cotton top, emperor and golden lion tamarins.
Not much has changed in the reptile house. They no longer have a reticulated python on display, but they have a couple of huge burmese pythons and a big iguana.
The path leading to the back paddocks runs between enclosures that house meerkats on one side and fennec foxes and more red pandas on the other.
As you wlak down the path a small alligator pond is on your left. Two more exhibits house groups of tamarins.
Past tthese exhibits the path opens up. A large paddock on the right is home to the white lions. Across from this is a large herd of fallow deer. Next is a very large area with giraffes and ostriches. After this is zebras.
Opposite the zebras is the new outdoor area for the chimps. This is the first time i have seen this exhibit and i was very impressed with it. It is very large and the animals have plenty of room. A sign says that they have 4 chimps at the zoo but they are still kept in pairs. The pairs have one day inside and one day outside alternately.
Not much has changed down the bottom of the zoo. The african hunting dogs have gone to Victoria and have been replaced with white lions. There is still two tapirs. A group of 5 siamang have an island. So do ring tailed lemurs and spider monkeys.
The only thing that had changed since my last visit was the new chimp exhibit. All the other exhibits I had seen before. The bears were gone since my last visit and the silvery gibbons were new for me.
The path leading to the snow leopard exhibit was closed. a sign said that a new leopard had just arrived and was being intrduced to the female. The exihibit was closed while the new leopard was settling in.
