P-otter swatter?

The otter exhibit has not reopened and still has work to be done.

Also, Animal Programs has added 3 new red kangaroos to the area in front of the Tree of Life. They have been on exhibit for about a month or so.

The National Zoo in DC has Asian small clawed otters. You can watch them live:

That's disappointing. Any chance of them being open tomorrow? We were hoping to see them.

I think this is it. The moment WDW regains the upper hand again.

And for Hairy Otter Phase II they have started construction on Warthogs' Castle.

Great to hear on the new Kanagaroos, thanks for the update on the otters.

I also heard the otters might be sent to Asia and the anteater might eventually take their location. But who knows?????

With all the glass and what not they would really have to want the Anteater space to mess with a move like that.

And in deference to synergy, will now be themed to "Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas".

I thought Henson still had that property, like the Fraggles.

This would help strengthen Maharajah Jungle Trek. I assume they would go in the old Tapir exhibit/current Bar Headed Geese exhibit?

Oh probably - just being sarcastic for effect.

Yes they do, and it might just be the cutest damn thing you've ever seen. We're lucky to live 8 minutes from there.

I'm 25 or 30 minutes away.

It would be nice if they were sent over there, but I guarantee that won't happen.

Have you been to zoolights yet? It's great this year. They added a lot of new things.

Not yet, but we were talking about it the other day. Thanks for the reminder!
