Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden What's Gnu At The Cincinnati Zoo? - 2013

How so? The fact that the zebras can have an issue with the other animals? It is an exhibit representing East Africa. I should note that this isn't a finalized list.

I believe he's referring to the species you said was coming that kudu would be very happy about.

Well, according to the website, the Feathertail Gliders are now in Jungle Trails.

That's been there for awhile. Who ever runs the website does not do a good job. They even say lion tailed macaques are on Monkey Island whem they're really in Jungle Trails.
 
As mentioned in my post above, I went to the zoo today and noticed a few things:

One, and I mention this because Moebelle has told me that they're not usually on-exhibit, the Angolan Colobuses were out today.

Two, they are doing a bit of work on Jungle Trails: repainting a few things, adding in a new "Swing Like a Gibbon" monkey bars set, and renovating the Sugar Glider enclosure.

Three, John the Lion seems to be getting more used to his exhibit as I saw him walking around and going right up to the glass for a bit.

Four, the zoo has not yet started preparing the Red River Hog enclosure to hold the Negros Warty Pigs and the RRH is still on exhibit.

Five, and this is the news Moebelle has been holding in for a bit, Harapan is back at the zoo and on exhibit.

I really did like the zoo and had a blast. I'm going back tomorrow to revisit my favorite exhibits and to do a few things I didn't do today.

About the colobus thing. That was when they rotated them the Diana Monkey awhile back. Now they get full access to outside and I don't think the zoo longer hold the Diana monkey. That's disappointing still that the warty pig isn't on exhibit. Thanks for the updates and maybe we'll run into each other tomorrow:)
 
Well I visited again today and had a great final day at the zoo! I did note a few things while I was there:
-The Jungle Trails renovations seems to be pretty much done as all that was being worked on today was wall painting while yesterday they were also working on a "balance like a lemur" play thing and a "use sticks to push a rock through a maze" thing. The Sugar Glider exhibit is still closed.
-I forgot to mention this yesterday but the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach terrarium was removed although it was back today although I didn't see any changes.
-The Jade-Headed Buffalo Beetle terrarium was removed for renovation.
-Moebelle's never-on-exhibit Tayras were out today as well as yesterday (mentioning it because I was told that they rarely go out on exhibit).
-Suci was back out today.
-I noticed that both Sabu and My-Thai were stereotyping today. Sabu was worst and I took a video of it.
-John the Lion was out again but, just like yesterday, pacing up and down the same stretch of his exhibit and there is now a well worn trail that's quite visible. I did note that there were keepers studying his behavior, though.
-They're doing a bit of work on the train tracks that are by the Eastern Bongo/East African Crowned Crane enclosure.
-Gladys is definitely getting more used to her outdoor surroundings as I noticed she is straying a bit farther on her own now than she used to.

On a personal note, I've had a great time in the Newport/Cincinnati area and greatly enjoyed both my visits to the zoo and my visit to the Newport Aquarium. Except for the Least Auklet and Eastern Bongo, I saw every species I wanted to see and had a lot of fun.

Judging from your Guillemot photo, I could tell from the background that they were not in the Arctic Sea Cliffs exhibit (because the exhibit is all rock). Can you confirm that they were moved in the Arctic Islands (that contains the aullets)? Are the ruffed lemurs in Jungle Trails still off?

Here are the changes made in Jungle Trails:
-http://ow.ly/i/2zEWw
-By the orangutans, there's an interactive sign that shows all the fruits and other foods that orangutans eat.
-By the storks and pelicans, there are hiking boots in large, medium, and in a toddler size.
-And according to ThylacineAlive, there's "Balance like a Lemur" area. Do you mind explaining what that is?
-By the hornbill/shelduck exhibit, there an electronic sign that just said "Cobi" when I was there two weeks ago. I have zero clue what that means but maybe it changed by then.
-As I've announced before, there are "monkey bars" by the adjutants.

-The Pigeon Guillemots can be found in both exhibits in Wings of the World.
-The ruffed lemurs are still off.
-I'm not too sure what the whole balance like a lemur thing is. It just seems like you balance on a rope.
-The electronic sign by the hornbill enclosure isn't working correctly. On the first day I was there it had information about just the Hamerkop and the shelducks but the second day it only had information on the shelduck.
-There was also a thing where you and "your team" use sticks that you push into what is suppose to be a termite mound to move a rock through a maze.
