At Nogeyama Zoo the oldest known zoo-camel died at an age of 38 years. It was a female named Zugaru.
 
According to the press release of the city of Yokohama, the twins were born to Sumatran tigers Guntur and Deru of Zoorasia.
 
The southwestern corner of the Nogeyama is closed off for renovation. This means that Nakayoshi Square, housing guinea pigs and mice is closed off (they can be seen near the fish house I believe). Unfortunately, this also means humboldt penguins, swamp wallabies and the only kagus in Japan cannot be seen.

I see a 1/4 portion cordonned off as grey space. They provisionally - I suspect - have rehoused red panda to near the lions in the NE corner of Nogeyama Zoo.

This is news from last year but the zoo has plans to build a barrier-free exhibit area featuring red pandas, kagus, pallas’s cats, and tortoises. The plan is to finish the project before 2028.

Sounds like a neat concept but I think combining play elements with sensitive species sounds pretty hazardous especially when the play areas and viewing areas seem to be indoors.

That looks ambitious and exciting, but as you mentioned, the play elements in particular seem a bit concerning. Still, I really wish it could be open for my visit next year. I will never tire of red pandas or Pallas's cats.

I’d like to see some of the kagus be distributed to other zoos, but that could mean that there would be no reason to visit Nogeyama aside from gharial and rare testudine. It’s the designated rare animal of the zoo after all.

Yes, that is true...
Ueno Zoo used to have a Kagu born in Nogeyama in the past, but currently the only animals on regular exhibit in Japan are the two males in Nogeyama.

These are the species that were on exhibit as of March 8th, and all had signs.
Kagu and rare reptiles are styill on exhibit.

The zoo is undergoing a major renovation now, and some species shown on the zoo website or other places online are off exhibit due to construction issues. Also, the giraffe and zebras take turns to come out to the outdoor exhibit due to the same issue, so either species will be in the indoor backyard, making them extremely difficult to see.

Feel free to leave any coments / questions!

Sorry! I missed out two species from my memo!

Red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) (Syn.: Varecia variegata rubra)
Fischer's lovebird (Agapornis fischeri)

I added in these species to the list.

Thanks for the comments!
 
I think all missed this piece of news from the note on the number of kagu at Nogeyama Zoo!

Singapore Zoo and Nogeyama did an exchange deal over a pair of kagu for a pair of (elderly) Asiatic lions! On March 23rd, 2024, the zoo received the elderly Asiatic lion pair, male Vera (aged 11) and female Barra/Bahra (aged 13).

Nogeyama Zoo had in the previous year 2023 (November 7th) transferred a pair of kagu to Singapore Zoo from the Yokohama Breeding Center.
