Good luck Kamaria! Au revoir!

The zoo's longtime Asian Elephant, Bamboo, passed away Tuesday at the Oklahoma City Zoo at the age of 56. It is worth pointing out in the Seattle Zoo thread, because she spent nearly fifty years in Seattle, with a 10-month stay at the Point Defiance Zoo in the mid-2000s. She had animal abuse protests and an inadequate life at the zoo for many years, before finally leaving Seattle in 2015.

‘Best buds’: Rescued bear cubs make public debut together at Woodland Park Zoo

Juniper, a female brown bear, and Fern, a female grizzly bear, were both born this past winter.

Fern was rescued as an orphan in Montana. She arrived at the zoo in October and can be distinguished from Juniper by her “longer snout and smaller stature.”

Juniper was found roaming alone near an air force base in Anchorage, Alaska and met the public for the first time in August, according to WPZ. She currently weighs 256 pounds, significantly more than Fern.

Oh what, I didn't hear of this till now. That's amazing! I was so sad when the Day House was damaged from the Fire and was wondering if anything would ever replace it since it's been so long.
Also side note, I love that the Motto for "Forests for All" is how we're all connected by the Forest, while Seattle Aquarium's Ocean Pavillion is how we're all connected by the Ocean, and for both its how even though we're in different parts of the world, it's all facing the same problems. That's a sweet, unintended way to connect the two. Can't wait for this!
