Elephant Odyssey - Stream Exhibit

This is the massive new exhibit complex, opened in May 2009, that is themed to interpreting Southern California during the Pleistocene through habitats for animals that are living examples of the descendants of extinct species from 12,000 years ago.

Do they actually have live animals in there now? In the summer, they had a bunch of fake frog and lizard sculptures set inside, and the animal description signs said "coming soon" (except for maybe one real lizard).

Appearance-wise, this is the best part of Elephant Odyssey IMO.

Yes, I did not note what the species were, but there were turtles and lizards inside, and I think frogs too.

Looks great. I am excited to see such a display for western pond turtles, a species with quite a conservation need.

I agree, and it is probably the best exhibit in EO!

What other species are kept in this exhibit?
