Hyena Exhibit

August 4th, 2010.
Within the next couple of years the zoo will send away its spotted hyenas as the Hamadryas baboons will inhabit an exhibit adjacent to this one. A domino effect will have taken place with a new entrance plaza replacing the grizzly bear exhibit, the bears being shifted into a modern habitat where the current baboon grotto is, and the baboons forcing the hyenas out of the zoo. An overhaul of a series of badly outdated exhibits is music to my ears, although the zoo still has a long way to go as other prominent species (lion, tiger, elephant) are still in antiquated exhibits.
 
I found out that Riverbanks Zoo used to have Brown hyenas in the past, does anyone know more about this ?
 
Remember Cheetah's, Maned Wolves, Hamadryas Baboon, Spider monkey, mandrill,spotted hyena and spectacled bear being in this enclosure possibly more not sure.
