@Smaggledagle, Zuri's arrival was mentioned back in April when she arrived.

If you watch the video it shows there are actually a set of twins, I think in addition to the singleton at the start of the video. Might be just twins with the other one hiding at the start.

Zuri was introduced early this morning to the exhibit with the other camels.

I don't know the number of white tailed deers, but there are now two musk ox calves.

Female red panda Sundari, from Calgary, arrived at the Zoo this fall and is now in exhibit for guests to see.

If I'm not mistaken Émeraude would be 1 year old, she was a baby last year.

Mashka, the 17-year-old Amur tiger, has sadly passed away.

Where did he come from ?

Where did he come from ?

I tried searching for Mashka, the Amur tiger.
Amurskaya, Chaska, and Mashka arrived at the Saint Felicien Zoo in 2009. They came from a zoo in Germany and were born in 2008. Chaska died after a castration surgery. Amurskaya gave birth to 2 cub with Mirko in May 2012, and is named Kouma(F). Kouma passed away in 2023 because of intestinal issues. Amurskaya died in summer 2022.
I may not be correct, but after reading a few articles, I concluded that Mashka was one of the three original tigers that arrived in 2009. I will try to ask the zoo about Mashka.
