Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium Pittsburgh Zoo News 2013

Crud I didnt even notice I clicked on the wrong zoo. I'm sorry. Your absolutely right it should be there.
 
Couple Updates from todays visit:
1. The Pufferfish tank right when you enter the Aquarium was completely empty. Idk if a new species is going to be exhibited or just cleaning/fixing.
2. The Bushmaster is no longer on exhibit in the Worlds of Discovery. Western Diamondback Rattlesnake took it's exhibit. It looks like another new species might go on exhibit soon. There was a exhibit with no sign and empty.
 
Updates from the zoo:
Sadly the Reeves Muntjac passed away last night. no plans on what might go in that exhibit.
The 2 female tiger cubs born a couple years ago are still at the zoo but there both leaving soon. One is going to Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo and the other somewhere in Montreal.
The 2 new female dama gazelle the zoo got for breeding with the lone male will go on exhibit over the weekend.
I found out that the Sand Tiger Sharks were actually wild caught specimens which was interesting.
The zoo is receiving a pair of Marine Toads from Detroit zoo and they will go on exhibit in the fall in Worlds of Discovery.

Believe it or not, most if not all sand tiger sharks or sharks and other fish species for that matter in zoos and aquariums are wild caught.
