Yesterday, Bhotu made his Phoenix Zoo debut! Bhotu is a three-and-a-half-year-old from the San Diego Safari Park. In fact, he is Chutti's half-brother, sharing the same father!

Our male maned wolf, Thiago, has found a new home at the Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City, Kansas by recommendation of the AZA. Thiago came to us in November of 2020 and was born at Abilene Zoo on February 11, 2019. We will dearly miss having him around and wish him the best in his new home!
