semi aquatic mammal paddocks

The animals live well enough with a heated indoor pool, and whilst it would be nice to look at, a pool outside would be tricky to maintain, and it'd be more likely the animals would favour the heated pool, especially in the winter months (take London's hippos), meaning there may also be unnessacary funds spent.

Drafts of the masterplan have shown a lake covering these paddocks and the rhino paddock, so it may well happen in the future. But for the moment the animals are perfectley content just having lots of lush grazing.
 
I've never understood why the Hippos and Tairs do not have any pools outdoors?

Yes i have always thought the same. The indoor pools are pretty small and a big outdoor one for them would be nice.

This enclosure could do with a pool, a few trees to create shade and better viewing IMO.

However they are breeding well so i guess thats all that matters. :)
