Excellent news! I think it's been a couple of years since the last sloth bear birth in the U.S.
Gorilla, Leo, has died suddenly.

Respectable agr at 40.
What about the journalist quoting 2008 and 2 year old Yola? Can someone explain (as it is contradictory)?
Correct me if I'm wrong @kifaru Bawana but I believe what you are asking is how is Leo Yola's adoptive dad when she is only two and he arrived in 2008? If that's the case... Leo was a behavioral non breeder. What the zoo would do is allow Vip to breed with Leo's girls and then return them to him. Vip is actually Yola's dad. That's the nice thing about having two family groups... if one of your males isn't a breeder you can let the girls visit the breeder and not have single males unable to rejoin a bachelor group. The AZA has a small handful of behavioral non breeders who are managed similarly. I believe Disney has a non breeder who lives with a younger male he allows to breed. And another case two former bachelors live in a family group where only one of them breeds. I just don't recall where. Kind of cool cases to look at.
Ah how nice of them to name one after Kartick of Wildlife SOS!
The zoo has updated its online map to include Assam Rhino Reserve:

A mountain goat was born at the zoo. Her father is Albert and her mother is Bluebelle. The kid will be on exhibit once the Northern trail boardwalk opens back later this week.

I looked for young red pandas but only spotted a single adult high in a tree during my visit today.

I think the red pandas are still being cared for in the veterinary care facility.
Gorilla, Kwame, is now on display and has been integrated with his new family, Akenji, Uzumma, Nadiri and Yola.
