- The elephants have a transfer crate in front of their house entrance, so their likely conditioning them for their transport.
-Nile Monitor in the Africa Pavilion has been replaced with several tortoises (can't remember the species)
-The Ring-tailed Lemurs share their enclosure with two Grey-necked crowned cranes
-All signage had been removed for the Spotted-otters in the Africa Pavilion
-New signage is up for our Crested Porcupines for the old Caracal enclosure
-Watched a young-ish male hyena try to mate with the old female for a long time (keeper was out watching the event, the male had several nice nip marks from the female), the female wasn't having any of it
-Female clouded leopard was out and in full view, something I have never seen in the close to 19 years I've been going to the zoo, a volunteer told us she was coming towards the end of her time and that she had been moving out into the open more
-The Indo-Malaya Waterfall pool was divided into two sections by a weighted net, one side held a number (5) jumbo gourami, the other side held what looked like a bottom feeding shark or fish (black, long, stayed at the bottom) no signs so no idea what it is
-Enjoyed a long adventure of types with the Orangs, four were out, they had fun with a bucket full of water
-At the second viewing opportunity for the White-handed Gibbons the central window was boarded up with wood for one reason or another
-The Sumatran tigers were anxious, pacing on either side of the separate enclosures they were in
-The new wombats, or wombat, was out in the indoor enclosure with the other one
-The Fly River Turtles in the Australia Pavilion are HUGE, twice the size since the last time I visited, the Cormorants were no where to be seen, as with the Cockatoos and Victoria Crowned Pigeons
-The Babirusa female and her piglet were in the Malayan Tapir indoor
-On a side note, they need to look into expanding this area or moving one of the animals in my mind, there is simply not enough space for both species. The likely scenario I see is moving the Babirusa to the Gaur exhibit once they are gone
-The map/zoo brochure states part of the zoo's plan is to enhance and EXPAND the hippo (assuming river hippos) and orang enclosures
-no mention of Canada moving
-The birds from the Bird Request from a while back are all there and flying from what I could see, the Acari are especially funny
-All the Americas tanks are either up and running or have signs stating what is going to happen to them
I think that is it, may have forgotten something, we'll see.
Thanks for the updates! Below are a few clarifications based on my frequent visits:
- The elephants have 3 crates (1 by the house and 2 in the other half of the exhibit), which have been in place for quite some time. 1 of the crates was orginally too small (not sure if its length has been increased yet) and is one of the reasons that the elephants have not been transferred yet.
-The nile monitor has been off display since at least May 2012 (although I think the signage is still there). There are 4 radiated tortoises in that exhibit (1 male, 3 female) now.
- The grey-crowned cranes share the exhibit with the lemurs during the winter and have an outdoor exhibit in the summer. This shared exhibit happened last winter too, as I remember watching the lemurs hanging from the ropes and taking swipes at the cranes.
- Not sure why the spotted-necked otter signage disappeared, but Fred is still around. Ginger passed away a few months ago.
- The female hyena is only 6 years old. Pinduli was born in 2006 at the Denver Zoo. I believe the male is older than that. There have been many observed breeding attempts between these two and the male has several scars as a result.
- The other species of fish in the Indo waterfall area is catfish (not sure exactly what species of catfish, but they are quite large). They have never been separated from the gourami on any of my visits, so maybe there are agression issues between the 2 species.
-The Gibbon viewing glass shattered a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure it happened overnight and the keepers think it was due to the freezing and thawing of the ground (some areas of the pavilion are built directly on the ground)
-You likely saw both of the new wombats and not Hamlet, who is on exhibit overnight.
- Not sure where the cormorants are in Australasia, but both cockatoos and 1 victoria crowned pigeons are still around
- the female babirusas and tapir share one exhibit. The tapir is out in the morning and the babirusa in the afternoon. Not sure where the male babirusa is this winter, but he doesn't go on exhibit.
- The fish tanks in Americas have been like that for what seems like forever. I don't know what the delays are since the new tanks have been installed and as far as I know, the species are already at the Zoo in holding tanks.
). The tur were always my favourite species of hoofstock in the zoo. I just love their impressive horns. It's nice that the zoo finally decided to keep a species that isn't very common in zoos (I just wish they did this for the dholes).
