So, this thread is apparently intended to be an all-purpose Calgary Zoo thread, what do people think of the new additions?
I really like the black rhino, it's a fascinating creature to watch, definitely my favorite new addition. I was calling for them to get a black rhino since they first announced that the elephants were on the way out.
The senior komodo dragon is cool to look at, but I haven't been back since the young ones have been in the exhibit as well. I'm hoping they'll be a little more lively.
The bonobos are fascinating, too. I'm hoping they'll get some females at some point to form a full troop, but right now the social structure of the males they have is a little too fluid to introduce females into.
The Himalayan Monal is a gorgeous bird. I especially like the female, with their really understated plummage and then the halo of iridescent green around her eyes.
I haven't had much of a chance to watch the Eurasian Boar or Lynx yet.
