Klipspringer

June 2009

It is great to see that the rock hyraxes are still in there with the mongooses and klipspringers. A truly wonderful exhibit even after all these years.

I miss the old reptile display that used to be a part of it as well. Had pancake tortoises and sungazers.

Where was that reptile display located?

It was adjacent to but seperate from the main enclosure (klipspringer et al) I think it's now a botanical display.

Do you know when it was taken down and why?

Nope, just something I remember from a long time ago.

Oh yeah, I remember that. I don't remember when it was taken down though (it escaped my mind b/c it wasn't part of the zoo I regularly go to before), but I think like some time in the early 2000s because I've seen sungazers in Reptile Mesa starting then. Pancake Tortoise are also in Monkey Trails near the reptile vivariums.
