Empty Paddock (Old Alpaca Exhibit)

Aug. 8th, 2011. It is closed due to construction on Sea Lion Cove.

I'm not sure, but I think this exhibit once held American Bison.

There are 2 paddocks back to back, one held American bison and the other held Tule elk when this was the North American section of the zoo. There is also a prairie dog exhibit adjacent and what used to be a kit fox exhibit (later fennec fox). Over time there were saurus cranes and then a camel in these exhibits once the bison and elk left. I'm not sure if the fox and prairie dog exhibits are part of the sea lion exhibit footprint too.

This exhibit has been knocked down and is now part of the sea lion exhibit construction area (and eventually the sea lion exhibit!).

if this paddock were still standing, id love to see vicunas in it

@mstickmanp, now that you mentioned american bison used to live in this paddock, i could see european bison, gaur, cape buffalo, banteng, african forest buffalo or other bovinae in here,

But it's now gone and the space headed for the new sea lion exhibit ungulate nerd.
