While trying to crusade for Wishbone to get some grass, my next planned crusade was to get Inti a proper living space. Inti has been living in a series of cages for a decade. Granted they are decent sized cages, they are still cages.
About a year ago I asked a Keeper about this and he told me he heard there were plans to find a place outside the ARC (Animal Resource Center) and build Inti a new home. I asked an Docent who works in the ARC and she said she heard that too. Figuring this was being taken care of I continued my crusade for Wishy, though because (in my opinion) of Zoo stubbornness and stupidity we all know how that turned out.
A few months ago, Angelo the Anteater's home was getting some work done and I heard he was staying in the neighboring enclosure while that construction was in progress. After he moved into his new digs, which I will note look wonderful! , I heard that his vacation home was going to be renovated for Inti! Great news. I also heard it would be done by May. Until yesterday I hadn't seen/heard much "work" being done there. Now that I have, let's hope its not too long before Inti gets a new home! I hope it has some natural flooring. It should mimic the Snow Leopard area.
Below are some of the photos I took
when I got to meet Inti in 2010.
