True, although most of the tortoises and some lizards also had food dishes in their exhibits, but no cockroaches on any of the others so who knows.

According to a tweet by the Santa Barbra Zoo, the Sacramento Zoo will soon me receiving one of their female Masai giraffes (Santa Barbara Zoo on Twitter).
They're focusing on Masai then. Any idea if the zoo will retain a Reticulated or two as well? (Besides their current geriatric female)
I guessing here right not, but putting 1+2=4 I reckon they will move up to Masai giraffe. Reticulated/Nubian US SSP is hopelessly damned (and hybrid inbred)!
The world's largest living dinosaur has returned to the Sacramento Zoo! No, those janky animatronics aren't back, I'm talking about the common ostrich! Two female ostriches, Cinnamon and Clove, recently arrived in from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

The crocodilians are in the house! The South Lake is now home to six male American alligators.

Two more articles released by the zoo:
- One about the zoo's new Masai giraffe: Amirah the Giraffe Update | Sacramento Zoo - Sacramento, CA
- And one about the zoo's new alligators: How to Prepare for an Alligator Arrival | Sacramento Zoo - Sacramento, CA
At the bottom of the alligator one Jacobs mentions staff are working on a reopening plan, so that's good.
Must have passed. She was pretty old. The only animal at Sac Zoo within the last 10 years I never saw.
(African Pygmy Falcon doesn't count because they never appeared to be out anywhere nor stay very long!
)
The Sacramento Zoo will be re-opening June 1st! (with some safety protocols in place)

Was glad to get that email this afternoon, thinking of going a little while after they reopen.
False alarm folks. Sac County health officials have rescinded the go ahead to re-open the zoo.

Ouch. Wonder what happened.
(Tbh I don't think Newsom wants to let anywhere open yet, and I question how whether he even cares)
Another article from the Sacramento Zoo. This one also talks about alligators and mentions how the on-exhibit group has already gone from 6 to 4 individuals.
Shani the Masai giraffe is pregnant! It was announced during this news segement: Sacramento Zoo, Pt. 3.
That is good news. Would be a good zoo baby to have after all this for the draw factor.
