  • A male fossa named Ricco is now on exhibit in Carnivore Kingdom. He is in the former black footed cat exhibit. CK is supposed to go under renovations in the next few months and they felt the noise would disturb the cats. They are all being kept in the big cats building and one may be shipped to England to mate there.

You mean that one of your fossas may be heading to the UK?

No, the black footed cats are in the big cats building and one of them will move to the UK. Philadelphia Zoo only has one fossa that they just received to be on exhibit.

Sorry to but into this thread but I would dearly love to see a black footed cat. Do you know where in England this will go? So few places have the smaller cats now, they are getting increasingly difficult to find :-(

I'm sorry, I was not told what specific zoo it would end up.

The McNeil Aviary is where most of the birds are located. Unfortunately I do not have a list of all the species. Last time I went, they removed the bird guides on the trails (perhaps to update?)

I was told that was the main reason for their removal, because they were moving some of the birds around and wanted to update cards. That was in June, though.

I'm really excited for the fossa! Hopefully the weather gets tolerable at some point for me to go visit.
