three section savanna

February 10, 2012.
These three mammals look like they are together, but in fact they are separated. (The birds are black vultures which literally infest this zoo - to the point of being a nuisance IMO). The elephant yard in the back houses two african elephants and a sunken moat separates it from the middle yard with two white rhinos which are separated by a water moat from the kudu. Greater kudus share their yard with giraffes and gerenuks and marabou stork.

Looks like a nice exhibit from the photo, just depends on the size of the yards. I find it strange that Hagenbachs influence is still prevelant in the USA though, especially since it's fallen out of favour in Europe..

Leipzig, Hannover, Gelsenkirchen, Copenhagen, Arnhem, Zurich, Plzen, Dublin and....Hamburg (among others) have all opened recent exhibits that are clearly Hagenbeck-influenced, so I'm not sure where the style has "fallen out of favour"......

The only recent panarama exhibit I can think of is the ice world (can't remember the aGerman name) at Hamburg. I'll take your word on the others as your a more seasoned traveller than me... And I knew I got the spelling wrong! :o

@Brum: reduakari is right. In Arnhem f. e., you can see the Bantengs, Deers and Macaquees in the front and Tigers in the back/rear (although the view is disturbed by bars). And in one of the newest zoos in Europe - Bioparc Valencia - there is a typical Panorama-style exhibit: From the restaurant (lodge) you have a bar-free view to Waterbirds, Giraffes, Antilopes and then uphill to a pair of Lions.

@jbnbsn99: CPZ for Cameron Park Zoo? And what short do we use for Central Park Zoo;)?

I totally forgot about bioparc. I'm feeling slightly stupid now... :o

CPZ = Cameron Park Zoo (Texas)
CPZ = Central Park Zoo (New York)
CPZ = Capron Park Zoo (Massachusetts)

All 3 zoos are AZA-accredited!
