I was pretty distraught that the crocodile from the otter pool had been removed as it was a fond childhood memory. I was therefore very happy to find it here
Nope, because it makes the exhibit more interesting for kids. This whole area is very child friendly, what with the theming, lorikeet feeding and the massive splash pool outside.
Lorikeets come from islands in the South Pacific, many of which are littered with WWII debris. I think from that angle it could be an interesting element.
