Kopje 1986 - Mammal Exhibit

  • Media owner geomorph
  • Date added
This exhibit complex opened in 1986 and still exists. It replicates the rocky islands in the savannas of Africa. The individual exhibits include an aviary for eagles, an aviary for smaller birds, an open air mixed-species reptile yard, and a mixed-species mammal yard with dwarf mongoose and klipspringer and rock hyrax. These pictures were taken in 1986 when the exhibit was new. An adjacent older yard housed meerkats which further extended the area theme.

As has been pointed out by others on various photos here at ZooChat, this is now over 20 years old but still looks brilliant. A real top-class exhibit that isn't tremendously large, but seeing it in person is simply wonderful.
