I really like the inclusion of vultures, Diana monkeys, and pygmy hippos in their African plans. I know they wouldn't be the first zoo to combine monkeys and hippos...SDZ already does that...but it's still a cool mixture regardless.

So now they have three elephants. Bull Sneezy and cows Sooky and Booper. What happened to Asha, who came from Polk City years ago? The zoo no longer mentions her.

On Jan. 1 4 just fledged Red-billed firefinches were discovered at the Tulsa Zoo. This brings the number of this species bred at the zoo to 250 since 2013 !

It makes sense considering the former DWA curator of birds became Tulsa's curator of birds around mid 2012. He does an excellent jobOn Jan. 1 4 just fledged Red-billed firefinches were discovered at the Tulsa Zoo. This brings the number of this species bred at the zoo to 250 since 2013
