A baby Koala was born in May last year, to Rinny (born 2015). The joey emerged from his mother’s pouch in January and was named ‘Hope’ for the Australian bushfires, which were burning at the time.

The Clouded Leopard cubs are being checked and exam led due to the Coronavirus and what makes this interesting unlike most zoos which have and breed clouded leopards in which the mother neglects the cubs and have to be hand-reared, the cubs at zoo Miami are being taken care by their mother.

Could any zoochatters who know this zoo well tell me whether there are any Neotropical primates and particularly any of the Callitrichidae species kept at Zoo Miami ?
I've looked on their website and there are none featured and neither are there any pictures that indicate that they keep any through most of the gallery.

Deja vu
But in seriousness, if you go to the United States forums and use the dropdown menu to filter results for the zoo you're interested in, it will show you all of the threads associated with it - including these species lists. Not every zoo will have one, but it's worth checking first.

The zoo's female komodo dragon had to have extensive surgery recently because she swallowed a large re-usable water bottle. One of the alligators also had to have x-rays to look for another water bottle it was seen eating; they didn't find it, so they're concerned the one alligator passed it and another ate it.
