Is there anything that I should expect to see by January 2019? I'm visiting there on vacation at that time.

I did San Diego in a day, it wasn't too challenging at all. Given I was alone, although I did have my camera with me so lingered at several enclosures for photography. Its not as spread out a site as I expected.
Utterly superb though, I loved it.

Was she put on birth control because her genes or her mate's genes are overrepresented?Eloise, the siamang, who is 37 years old and on birth control surprised everyone when she gave birth to a baby on exhibit on Monday. I will post a photo in the gallery.
This is her 8th baby, including 2 stillborn. She is 37 years old.Was she put on birth control because her genes or her mate's genes are overrepresented?
I went today Nov. 13th and the trail was closed again for painting. I won't be able to check again until the end of the month.Anyone know what species are back on exhibit along Eagle Trail?
That's pretty old for a siamang, if I'm not mistaken. Do you think this will effect how well she'll be able to raise this baby?This is her 8th baby, including 2 stillborn. She is 37 years old.
