One of the major flaws of the establishment is that it is 7-storeys high, meaning that many of the larger birds escape to the upper regions of the building and are impossible to locate. Another disappointment is the size of many of the exhibits, as the major species such as the giant river otter, jaguar, pygmy marmoset, Orinoco crocodile, giant anteater, little penguin, Morelet’s crocodile, etc; all are in enclosures that are too small in relation to the dimensions of the inhabitants. Those 6 species that I named all have the smallest ever exhibits that I’ve seen for them, as the aquarium attempts to pack thousands of animals into a rainforest environment that should be limited to fewer creatures in larger exhibits. However, overall I would highly recommend a visit to see all of the wonderful rarities and it is similar to being inside a zoo’s huge rainforest complex.
