Do you think Cincinnati will ever move Fiona to another zoo, or do you think they will do whatever it takes to keep her for the rest of her lifetime?
I have a feeling it could go either way. Toledo moved Louie to Omaha to breed, while Raja has been at the Saint Louis Zoo his entire life, to give examples of popular baby animals when they were born.

Preview of their upcoming African penguin exhibit, aka, the former Sea Lion Falls. They just slightly expanded the land, while shrinking the pool in half. Not quite sure if there will be full floor to ceiling underwater viewing.

From walruses to sea lions to penguins... (from the looks of it the rockwork looks surprisingly good, and of course the penguins would have a more prominent exhibit rather than being a surprise feature along the boardwalk in the Children's Zoo.)
 
The amount given to non-exhibit area is huge here, with twice as many paths as exhibit area, not even speaking about off-show areas....
No, I'm not denying that this exhibit is great, and it is very great, but there are features from the old exhibit (underwater viewing tunnel that was underground) that they could have incorporated into this new exhibit. Not gonna go on further because this isn't fantasy thread :)
