Pygmy Hippo/Wolf's Guenon exhibit

June 2009
For the Wolf's guenons this is a brilliant exhibit, and for the pygmy hippos it is a solid one but nothing spectacular. The hippos have a decent amount of space both on the land and in the water, but it is truly the guenons jumping around everywhere that make it an excellent zoo habitat. The slender-snouted crocodile enclousure adjacent to this exhibit makes for an impressive, one-two knockout punch.:)
 
I agree, the hippos have a decent exhibit, but the guenons have a great exhibit to live in. While I was there, I enjoyed watching a juvenile wolf's guenon jump around the exhibit. The hippos were also very active.
 
also based on the other photos, this is a fine exhibit, nice and sandy bank to sleep and bask.
How many hippos are in this exhibit?
 
I think they are a 1.1 pair, but according to ISIS, they have 1.5 and SDWAP has 2.2!!! I have a feeling this is another ISIS error.
 
wow, yeah. If there were an extra 4 hippos, I'm pretty sure you would of spotted an extra one.;)
 
It's quite possible they have more, but they're just not on display.
