Visayan Warty Pig Exhibit - New in 2012

May 13th, 2012.
The Visayan warty pig exhibit is bowl-shaped along one side with a concrete mudbank appearance, and a low fence along the visitor side. This enclosure has actually been sitting empty and overgrown with plants for at least a decade, and it was originally an Asian Marsh habitat. That exhibit at one point contained 4 species: Reeve's muntjac, demoiselle crane, mandarin duck and bar-headed goose.
 
Hi snowleopard, do you have any photos from when this used to Asian Marsh with its original inhabitats?
 
Wow, its only two years old? I certainly didn't get that impression when I saw it. The marsh exhibit sounds really nice, why did it get closed?
 
The warty pigs arrived at the start of summer in 2012 but it was a fairly simple reworking of what used to be an Asian marsh exhibit. I do not have any photos of when it held muntjac and waterfowl but that was at least 10 or more years ago. For a decade this enclosure was overgrown and I suspect that the majority of visitors did not even know it was there.
