Does anyone know if the pangolin exhibit is open yet?
Brookfield Zoo Pangolin Exhibit
- Thread starter Deborah Rogozinski
- Start date
If you mean the exhibit at Brookfield, yes it should. I will be heading to the zoo this weekend to confirm.

We went today and two of the three display panels were open. The official unveiling is tomorrow. But we did get to see him!
That's great news! Thanks for the update. I will be going on Sunday and will be uploading photos.
Absolutely fine news!
Here is hoping more Western world zoos take up the challenge of pangolin husbandry and zoo animal conservation management.
The entire genus is at risk of going extinct from the Planet, so ex situ programs are rather urgent.
The same is trade in volumes of trade for sea horses - as in marine wildlife resources -.
And sure enough, there is a long list of other LBN's that should make that list for ex situ management.

It looks like this will happen, as Memphis, Columbus, Turtle Back, Gladys Porter and Pittsburgh have just confirmed they are holding tree pangolins as well..
