National Zoo - River Hippo Pool

July 2008.
I can't wait for the Elephant Trails habitat to open in 2011, as the hippos will be transferred to another zoo and the exhibit above will look much different then.
 
Has anybody seen this exhibit since the renovation was completed? Does this pool even exist anymore or was it wiped out in the remodel?
 
the bars were to keep the hippos at a safe distance, and from lunging. also keeper safety. animals can't grab a foothold with the bars.
