Where is the bobcat exhibit at the National Zoo? Is it the small cat exhibit over by the lions and tigers?

Yes. A small shoot-off path has two exhibits. One is for bobcat and another is for caracal.

A Facebook post from the Nashville Zoo indicates that that's where our Andean/spectacled bear cubs went. They left last May.

No worries. We hopefully will get a male for breeding soon, but I have no other details.

The outdoor birds exhibits at the Bird House will close on March 1st. My guess is that is when construction on the building starts.

 

[Andrew_NZP]

The zoo will be closed from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM on February 21 due to Bao Baos departure.
If you would like to watch her departure the zoo will be broadcasting it live from their Facebook.

I believe the grounds open at 8:00 AM. I have no idea why they didn't just say the zoo opens at 12:00 PM instead of 8:00 AM, but who really cares besides me.
