| SATURDAY,
MAY 3, 2014 Today the Zoo celebrated the opening of a new temporary exhibit for Liz and Missy, two 14 year old female cheetahs from Wildlife Safari in Oregon. Providing a temporary home for 'the girls' here has created additional space for the breeding program at the Safari. [link] Also notable today was the sight of the 'baby' giraffe exploring the wide open Savannah. It was fun watching him investigate. |

| She's sorry she can't visit, but that's the way things are. |

| Mama lion is still trying to catch up in sleep after those four cubs. Word has it that her new partner who is on site is a gorgeous hunk of lion named [Xerxes]. They are currently being slowly introduced in a controlled setting and are getting along well so far. |

| Pretty soon the two young snow leopards will leave for a new home. |
