Thanks Gulo gulo. Do you remember what the original species line-up for this exhibit was?
I assume that the pigmy hippo and gorillas have been continuous inhabitants. Others have mentioned that the bongos were in here(?), yellow-backed duikers, Jackson's chameleons, and pottos. Anything else of note when it was an all-Africa exhibit?

BZF, all three were never on exhibit at one time. the normal coloured female and melanistic male, were always on exhibit together. the female melanistic leopard, Pandora, was by herself, as the other two got thrashed by her.
DavidBrown, as you entered the building after the corridor, one would encounter gorillas, talapoin, leopards, yellow-backed duikers, pygmy hippo (there was an otter on exhibit with the pair of pygmy, can't remember species), potto, forest buffalo, jackson's cham, bongo, nile monitor, cichlids, west african dwarf crocs, de brazza's guenons and mandrill. there were some smaller exhibits for millipedes and other inverts, as well as an inumerable number of free-flight birds. oh, african bullfrog, mud turtles and another species of turtle, as well. the gorillas, used to have access outdoors in warmer weather, as well as bongo and forest buffalo. now the outdoor exhibits are for cranes (former gorilla), african wild dog (former bongo, then cheetah), and baird's tapir (former forest buffalo, then capybara, rhea, baird's tapir).
