I visited today, here are the changes I noticed:
-American flamingos are back on North Lake.
-I noticed keepers in the former Chinese alligator yard doing work. Its possible that this is in anticipation of a new resident. The zoo recently posted about this species on their Twitter, which makes me think it might be returning.
-Northern garter snake is no longer in the Herpetarium.
-One of the horned guan exhibits is now unoccupied (the one near the Palawan peacock pheasant).
-Eastern screech owl is off exhibit again.
-Edward's ("Vietnam") pheasant is back in two places. One is mixed with the laughing kookaburra Bird Garden Trail exhibit (an unsigned tawny frogmouth has also been added to this exhibit) and in the last exhibit on the Bird Garden Trail.
-The small walk-in aviary is closed but I saw a horned guan in there from the outside. It seems that the one that was in the Bird House is now here and they are giving it time to acclimate before it is opened to the public.
-Cattle egret, snowy egret, American white ibis, and roseate spoonbill are in the Cypress Swamp now.
-Soemmering's gazelle has been added to the giraffe mixed yard but lesser kudu has been removed. As of now, the only lesser kudus on exhibit are the females in the yard with saddlebill storks and Soemmering's gazelle by the Cypress swamp.
-the western lowland gorilla exhibit in Fragile Forest was blocked off. Signage indicated it is because they are introducing a new individual, probably Zachary.
-Not a change to the zoo but I did my audit for another species list that I hope to have up by early next month.
-I did Dinoroarus to document the species for the list but I also took photos in there. I will post the animal exhibits for sure but I am on the fence about posting other stuff like the animatronics, signage, and immersion elements. If anyone has strong feelings either way let me know because I do not want to spam the gallery with irrelevant photos.
