1.2 Acre Hippo Enclosure

August 2009.
Brilliant outdoor enclosure, but I guess that the Canadian climate means that the hippos spend most of their time in barn?
 
I live in a part of Canada that only receives 2 weeks (at most) of snow each year, and so even with lots of rain in the winter I'd guess that the hippos have the opportunity to go outside all year long. The exhibit was built in 2006 and features an enormous pool.
