Since last post:

Starting between late April and early May, the Piedmont Park Conservancy partnered with the zoo Atlanta with the dealing of invasive plant species, as the plants are used for feeding some of the animals.

A female binturong named Brambles recently joined the Complex Carnivore section. The binturong was brought from Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, RI. She now joins Baloo, the other recent binturong brought to the zoo.

New Animal That Smells Like Popcorn Arrives At Zoo Atlanta
 
I have just posted a large set of photos of the zoo's reptile and amphibian exhibit complex that was opened in 2015, titled 'Scaly Slimy Spectacular'. The gallery had many previously posted fine closeups of inhabitants from past years, but was mostly lacking shots of the exhibits and facility itself. The complex has a large Main Building as well as a native animals small building called 'Georgia Extremes' with several attached outdoor exhibits. Unfortunately this smaller building was closed during my visit on 11/3/20.

What species of turtle does the zoo have on display? I know they have some cool species off display at least.
