Emu
I believe they were waiting on determining the sex of the chicks before naming.

Kookaburra
There are only 2 on display. Not sure which ones.

Tree Kangaroo
Nokopo (F)- arrived from Saint Louis Zoo

Victoria Crowned Pigeon
Vivan has passed away

New Guinea Singing Dogs
Have left the zoo
 
With the warthogs I got the info from their studbook 2011, I think, so any of the surplus males may have been moved as part of their 2012 plan but I have no clue.

I assumed all the penguin chicks lived. Positive thinking on my part I suppose.

Is the young sloth the 2011 baby or a newer one? And based on your sloth list does that mean Kosmo is gone?

Sad to hear our wolf pack is down to next to nothing. Will we be getting a new breeding pair as replacements?

Nice to hear the red pandas might get a switch up. Baby red pandas will go nicely with a baby giant panda if we are so lucky.

Thanks for the additions and corrections. Still hoping for more because its always great to have the best list possible.

The young sloth is the 2011 baby. I don't know where Kosmo is (off display, transferred or passed away?)

There are still 6 wolves, but they don't have names, aside from Debbie.
 
Adams7 said Teriyaki passed in one of the corrections I was given. Probably just missed it when you read through. Sadly I cant get to the zoo frequently enough to provide any good help. I just use what those of you who get to visit more frequently post to help maintain the list. But not every birth, death or transfer gets mentioned so any help is good help. I just wish the zoo posted more of this type of info on their website like other zoos do. I know up to date info is impossible but even their cute alert page is useless since they almost never update it, the one part that should constantly be kept current since its babies that pull in the huge crowds.
 
Oh no need to apologize we all miss things, especially in a long exchange of info. And your welcome editing the listbut the true thanks should go to the earliest posters who gave me such a great base to work from and everyone else who shares what they learn from their visits. Its a wonderfully collaborative community project we can all enjoy. I can pm the whole updated list to anyone who wants it.
 
Some things I would like to add:
- Wilma (Guar) full name Wilma Bonnie Sue
- Octopus’ name is Johnny Depth
- Miniature Donkey in the kids zoo is Sterling (M)
- All the names for the royal pythons in Africa are on the exhibit sinage
- These Kudu lists are confusing me what ever happened to Tom (M)?
- Is Gaston the Marabou stork alive still?
 
Tom the kudu passed away several years ago now (The same year as Jock the male ostrich, 2009?) and has since been replaced (I hate using that word in these descriptions) by a new male (Who arrived from ALS a few summers ago)
 
I believe our male babirusa's name is "Bucky"
 
If anyone can gather animal births and deaths, I want to try and make a Toronto zoo database for the animals, and have everything in it, if it is at all possible lets make this a team effort and get this thread rolling again!
 
Would you like my animal names list to get your database going? Its in a Microsoft Word file. If it would help you PM me your email and I'd be happy to send it along.

Do you want birth, deaths, and relocations? If so do you want it for just those at the zoo now or since the zoo opened? If you want relocations do you want to know where to and where from? Would it help if we post photos of animals we can identify with a reasonable amount of certainty to add to your database? Not that I have a lot but I bet others do.

Im happy to help you in any way I can. Let me know what you need.
 
I have a list of names already that is up to date. I want to do everything, why don't we go ahead with Indo-Malya first. (animal name, gender, date of birth, date of death, current location)
 
Ok, Quartz92 I'll see what I can find for you. Love the fact your as interested in this as I am. I have long thought one of us should take up this project, sadly I lack the drive to kickstart it myself. Good for you.
 
Here thanks to the 2002 AZA Orangutan studbook, plus what I know. Man I never realized the zoo had so many orangutans over the years. And take a look at the number of male infants compared to female. Very interesting. If you dont like this format QUartz92 let me know what I can do to make it easier for you.

I actually built a database much like this a few years ago. It's somewhat out of date by now (I haven't had time to update it with updates recently) but you can find it here: Toronto Zoo Animals
If you want to help me update it by suggesting any changes that I'm missing, please do!
 
K Ive been working on some more tonight but not Indomalaya. I have the devils up to 2001 and White Faced Sakis for you. Not great considering Im missing 10 years on both but its at least a start. And two of those devils were very naughty, brother sister pair Owen and Nicole had a little fling and two babies together. And im in the middle of the gorillas (wow that one is long).

Finished the gorillas. I didnt realize we had started out with so many. I knew about Charles, Samantha, Josephine, Barney, Amanda and Julia but I never realized there were others. And does anyone know why Patrick was sent to the zoo? I know he belongs to us but why did they bring him in just to ship back out 4 years later when he was still such a young baby basically? Sadiki is still here at 8 years old, though Im guessing they are starting to look for a new home for him now.

Patrick came to Toronto in December 1990 to become a playmate for Jabari (who was also being hand-reared). He then moved with Jabari to Dallas as they were quite closely bonded.
 
Does the zoo really only have 6 gorillas? I thought they had more. Are there any plans to acquire a new non-related breeding group once Charles passes away?
