Spring means lots of new babies at the Los Angeles Zoo!  Guests can now observe two Sichuan Takin calves and two Chacoan Peccary piglets out in their habitats while an Eastern Bongo calf, two Ocelot kittens, and seven Peninsular Pronghorn fawns remain behind the scenes bonding with their mothers for a few more weeks.

"The Zoo does tend to see a rise in animal babies each spring, but there is a lot more thought and careful planning that goes into the process than one might think," said Beth Schaefer, General Curator at the Los Angeles Zoo. "A majority of our offspring this season are all members of Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP) programs which aim to keep the North American populations of these species sustainable while also creating an insurance population, so these animals don't disappear from the planet."  

One insurance population currently thriving at the L.A. Zoo is a breeding group of Peninsular Pronghorn, a species of antelope native to Baja California Sur, Mexico. The Zoo recently welcomed seven Peninsular Pronghorn fawns, born between March 4 and April 8. In 2002, the L.A. Zoo joined the Peninsular Pronghorn Recovery Project in the Vizcaino Desert Biosphere Reserve of Baja California Sur, Mexico because the species’ numbers were dwindling in the wild due to hunting, habitat destruction, and cattle ranching.

On April 4, the L.A. Zoo celebrated the birth of two endangered Chacoan Peccary piglets. These medium-sized animals are found primarily in Paraguay and Bolivia, and they have a strong resemblance to pigs. Chacoan peccaries are social animals that live in small herds of up to 10 individuals, and they are known for their tough snouts and rooting abilities. The L.A. Zoo is currently working with the only conservation project in existence for this endangered species called the Chaco Center for the Conservation and Research (CCCI) and hopes to help care for and breed this species whose numbers are dwindling primarily due to habitat loss and hunting.

More photos and video below.


The L.A. Zoo welcomed two male Sichuan Takin calves, born on March 6 and 9. Takin (pronounced “TAH-kin”), are stocky goat-antelopes native to China’s remote mountain forests with short legs, large hooves with two toes, and a well-developed spur that makes them sure-footed on steep terrain and rocky cliffs. Although they are considered national treasures in China and are protected by law, this vulnerable species continues to be threatened by overhunting, habitat loss, and fragmentation.

On March 13, two female Ocelot kittens were born to first-time parents paired together through an SSP breeding program. Averaging about twice the size of a domestic cat, Ocelots are found in diverse habitats from Arizona and Texas in the U.S. through Mexico, Central America, and much of South America. Nocturnal and secretive, much remains unknown about their biology and habits. The birth of these kittens is a wonderful start to helping secure the future of this species of cat.

On April 6, the L.A. Zoo welcomed a female Eastern Bongo calf, a large antelope found in Kenya. Over the last few years, the Zoo has made breeding this species a priority because of its dwindling numbers in the wild due to logging and poaching.

While the L.A. Zoo welcomes animal babies of many species each spring, it is important to remember that babies grow into adults and contribute an important role in their species. “Babies are cute, and we all love watching them discover the world through their perspective,” said Schaefer. “But, these babies are so much more than just cute. They represent the future of their species, and we’re proud to be able to share their journey with Angelenos and help educate our guests about the incredible biodiversity in our world.” 1.2 pronghorn fawn photo by Jamie Pham

  Game News:Deadpool 2 Director Signs On For The Division Movie

Deadpool 2 Director Signs On For The Division Movie

David Leitch is a busy guy, having finished the soon-to-be-released Deadpool 2 and working on a Fast & Furious spinoff starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. You can now add one more project to that list: The Division, based on Ubisoft's multiplayer shooter.

Variety reports that Leitch, who is emerging as the premiere name in action films in recent years with hits like John Wick and Atomic Blonde, has signed on to the project. Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhall have been attached since the movie's conception and have reportedly been very involved in making sure the movie matches the feel and tone of the game.

The Division's story concept is that a disease spread through cash in New York City on Black Friday – because everyone uses cash on Black Friday – and the resulting quarantine has more or less shut down the city, except for looters and other people for whom your division is there to shoot.

Variety points out that The Division will have to wait until 2019 at the earliest, since Leitch has already begun work on the aforementioned Fast & Furious movie. The Division 2 was announced earlier this year by Ubisoft with plans to reveal more at E3.

[Source: Variety]

Our Take
The Division's story always seemed, in its best moments, laughably dumb, so I kind of hope a movie based on it doesn't take itself too seriously. The hit-you-over-the-head subtleties of that game's narrative seem like good bedding for satire rather than drama.

Hooray For Games That Let You Make The Text Bigger

The most exciting update to a video game on my PS4 this week is Monster Hunter: World’s new option to increase the size of the text on the game’s busy interface. I sure could use this option in a certain other major game that is launching on PS4 today.
