The bears were named Benton (male) and Fern (female).
Several Elk and Caribou calves were born in the free-roaming area.
I thought elk were being phased out of North American exhibits. This place is still breeding them?
2 Canada Lynx brothers will go on exhibit this weekend.

How can a zoo break its all-time attendance record for a single day? The solution is to build a fantastic, half-acre, almost $2 million play area. There is a two and a half minute video on this link that gives an effective overview of the new Kids' Trek complex:

The park has again broken its annual attendance record, with 217,926 visitors and counting. This has been attributed to several high profile births and the opening of Kids' Trek, a half-acre, $1.9 million play area (the largest capital improvement in the zoo's history).

Judging from the zoo's map, the Wolverines are now located in the former Coyote exhibit, which has been renovated and the park no longer maintains Coyotes.
Also, a brand-new habitat called Eagle Passage (Bald Eagles) officially opens in 3 weeks:

I just found this, though I am sure it has been in place for a while. Due to Covid-19, the tram tours through the open range hoofstock area have been replaced with self-drive tours in your own vehicle.
Announced earlier today on their Twitter page, they’ve been awarded Top Honors in Exhibit Design by the AZA for Eagle Passage
