isnt she also littermates with Arya at Zoo Knoxville?
Yup, I just found this article from 2016 that confirms the four are littermates and also has some interesting information about them.
Also, @Elena do you know if Batari had cubs at the Exotic Feline Breeding Compound?

Ramil, the male snow leopard, has tested positive for COVID-19:
"A male snow leopard at the San Diego Zoo is suspected to be positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19."
"The male snow leopard appears to be doing well, and is showing no additional symptoms other than the cough and runny nose. He shares his habitat with a female snow leopard and two Amur leopards. San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance veterinarians assume these three individuals have also been exposed. They are currently being quarantined in their habitat. Veterinarians are monitoring them closely, and will treat symptoms as they may arise. Because these Amur leopards and snow leopards are being quarantined, their habitat will be closed to Zoo visitors until further notice."

For those unfamiliar with the habitat and its current residents, the other leopards in the Asian leopard area are Naphisa the snow leopard (Ramil's girlfriend) and Amur leopards Satka and her 15 month old son Tuman. Ramil's nephew Meru was one of the snow leopards at the Louisville Zoo who had COVID-19 last year.
No, she never had cubs there and was never placed in a breeding situation with either male there.
What about Tuman’s brother, Lev?
He moved to another zoo awhile ago.
The snow leopard in one of the bear grotto was moved a while back right? Someone earlier said one of the tigers was in there but the app says there’s an Amur leopard and the map still has snow leopard.
Yes, Ramil and Penny were there. When Penny was moved back to the zoo where she was born, he was moved to Asian leopards to meet his new girlfriend, Naphisa. Charlie the Amur leopard then resided there but he was moved awhile ago to the leopard exhibit in Africa Rocks where he could be next to Maryanne (Tuman's older sister), who I think is intended to be his girlfriend. Batari the Malayan tiger is currently residing in that exhibit now.
Two Canadian Lynx have taken up residency in former Arctic Fox exhibit next to Polar Bear exhibit. Asked if they’re temporarily being displayed until finished construction of Children’s Zoo, was told by keeper they’re unsure at the moment.
Arctic fox left the collection?
Unsure if they did, I haven’t seen the Arctic Fox in close to a year at least in the exhibit but may be BTS. The zoo has a new paid tour regarding canines and may take it since some species are most likely BTS.

I don’t remember that exhibit being very big. Is it big enough for two lynx?
They’re rotated out from what I can see, at least the day I was there
The one out on exhibit was named Annie.
There are 2 snow leopards at the San Diego Zoo. Both endangered cats now have COVID-19
Another snow leopard has tested positive for Covid-19

The father who took his toddler into the elephant enclosure earlier this year for a self had the gall to plead not guilty of child endangerment and unlawfully entering a zoo enclosure. I mean come on buddy you are on video doing it likely from countless angles. You are guilty just get a plea deal and do your time. Anyone who can be on video taking their toddler into an elephant enclosure where the elephants charge you and you drop your kid who just barely avoids being squished is guilty of both charges. Just as mind blowing as doing it in the first place!

What an absolute gem of a human being.
Does anyone know if the zoo still has yellow backed duikers and musk deer, if so where are they located?
The last I knew there was duiker in the lost forest somewhere. In the Ituri forest or monkey trails I believe. Not sure on the musk deer.
As of my last visit in March, they still have Musk Deer in a slightly hidden enclosure near the stairs leading from Lost Forest down to the Hua Mei Cafe area. There is no signage so the exhibit is easy to miss.
As for the Duiker, there might be some in Northern Frontier (in the older hoofstock yards) although they may have been replaced by Bontebok or Gerenuks.
