Kopje 1986 - Landscape

  • 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.

Is that an animal exhibit or the wild? If only lesser zoos would copy the idea of landscape immersion then people would truly appreciate the quality that is within the zoo industry. Conservation efforts would quadruple around the world!:)
