Although I liked the enclosure, I thought the pool harked back to the otter pools of the 70's. The square concrete edges, with the awful yellow paint being worn away, and the fake bricks.

i can only assume that it is supposed to represent a man made pond in some indian/nepali temple ruins.
and since thats the case - the stone is the wrong colour, the bricks are the wrong size and shape and there are no architectural elements that resemble that culture.
I liked the exhibit for the size and enrichment it offers the otters but I thought the themeing was way OTT. I could've counted no less then 10 pots and urns inside the exhibit and out, the colours were a bit strange and as you can see in this picture the pool is very old school. When I visited the water was really cloudy and you couldn't even see the back.
