I visited Potter Park earlier today, and here's a few pieces of news:

The zoo has a new Pallas's Cat named Pazi. He is 2-years-old and my searching indicates he came from the Great Plains Zoo where he was born in 2020. It appears the zoo's previous Pallas's Cat Olaf moved to the Calgary Zoo last summer for breeding (unless there is another Pallas's Cat named Olaf).

The small bird exhibit between the Otters and Tufted Deer which previously had a Broad-winged Hawk, was signed for Crimson Rosella.

It does not appear there has been any work done on the former Wolf Exhibit, although there is some new species that could be placed in there with little to no change to the habitat.

Just wonder how long would it cost to visit this zoo? Thanks

Not long! On my last visit I was there a little over two hours, and I went through the entire zoo probably two and a half times. If you're thinking of visiting soon, during the winter, the biggest thing you'd likely miss would be the Rhinos. There is limited indoor viewing, but it doesn't really give any kind of decent view. Other animals that probably wouldn't be out include the Bongos, Giant Anteater, Binturong and Small Mammals (Meerkats and Mongooses).
