Does anyone know if their "African leopard" is really generic or actually is African?
Generic, I don't think there are any pure African over here currently. Plenty of places still call theirs African though, like "bengal" tigers.

On March 15, a gibbon baby is born, Josie to mother Ognat. Baby alert! Meet baby Josie! Mom, Ognat, easily multitasks having a snack while Josie clings to her.

They acquired Merlin, the harlequin macaw(see last phrase), from the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Merlin lived for nearly 20 years at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. He will be spending the summer acclimating and introducing to other macaws. Merlin is actually not a rainbow macaw but a harlequin macaw, (greenwing x blue & gold). He actually lived in Pets Unlimited before being bought by the Museum.

Safari Niagara has a one week old Hippopotamus, as far as I can tell they haven't put anything up on social media yet I assume they're being cautious before making an announcement to the public.
Only found out because @dukiephoto posted some pictures on Instagram.
Assuming this is a outside of SSP birth.

Almost certainly a contraceptive failure, as is rather common for hippos. The parents are maternal half siblings.
And yes, absolutely a birth that was done outside of an SSP recommendation, intentional or not. Safari Niagara isn't even a member of the river hippo SSP at all.

I cannot identify what it is. The zoo only says a bird. It looks like the zoo is trolling us.
Looks like a Burrowing Owl, I believe African Lion Safari had a breeding program in the past at the very least had them so no impossible to come by

Joshua a male reticulated giraffe arrived from the Tanganyika Wildlife Park. He was born January 18, 2024 at the Tanganyika Wildlife Park. The giraffe deck will be closed this week to get him comfy.
Also it has been confirmed by the comments that the baby hippo that was born last year will be transferred to another accredited facility for breeding. The juvenile hippo is being weaned of, so he will not be visible.
