Went to the wilds yesterday here's a few things I noticed :
There were 4 baby takin calves the youngest was born on Saturday. One of the female cheetah is expecting babies in a few weeks according to keepers. Both the painted dog and whole were out in their enclosures but both were hiding in the shade in the far corner of their enclosures.

Episode 37: The Wilds! The First Pasture
Zoo Tours now introduces you to a lesser known gem, the WILDS! North America’s largest conservation center. Located on nearly 10,000 acres, it is hime to rare and endangered species from around the world. As this organization focuses on securing the future for these animals, they also offer a must experience safari for their visitors. Through our time in the Wilds, we’ll enter into animal territory, observing creatures in natural, open-range habitats. Rhinos, giraffes, hoof stock no longer found in the wild, inhabiting pastures that cover hundreds of acres. With so few exhibits and so few animals, the Wilds still manages to inspire by bringing you into a perfectly disguised natural world. Enjoy the first part of our safari.

Too bad about the mother, but I am glad the pups survived. I am even more glad that some USA zoos are now working with dholes.
Updates from my visit today:
- According to the safari driver, 75 American Bison have been born so far this year.
- 3 Cheetahs were born.
- 7 Scimitar-horned Oryxes were born.
- 3 Common Elands were born.
