Despite the large size and extensive work to make it look like a real cave, the actual exhibit is somewhat anticlimactic. Too dark to see much, even inside the animal exhibits, and only three animal exhibits in the entire cave.

Do you remember the species that you saw? I wonder if they were the same ones present in 2010.
An excerpt from my 2010 review:
Night Animals – After viewing an echidna cave (a brutally small exhibit with little natural substrate) visitors enter a long, creepy, well-designed cave that promises a lot but instead offers up very little. A slow loris exhibit, a pygmy slow loris exhibit, a Micronesian kingfisher exhibit…and that’s all folks. Disappointing.

Before the king fisher was on exhibit, it was used as an indoor exhibit for the Lemurs who had access to both the indoor and outdoor part of the exhibit. With Lemurs returning to that outside exhibit I wonder if they will have access to both as they did before. I'm planning a visit within the next two weeks so I will let you know if the zoo is going in that direction again.
