that looks very fine I must say.

Hmm,....the Manatee species they will show there is already wrong but Dugongs,.....

Maybe they got their facts from such a source like this

"dugong, also known as the manatee"

world-famous carribean amazon managong!

My ticket is booked up if they get dugong family.

I love "artist's impressions of..."

They're always such wonderful places.

What are the chances that the actual exhibit will look like this?

How many manatees will actually be in the exhibit?

When will the actual exhibit open?

Will I ever stop asking questions?

Apparently I will.

the River Safari thread is here David: http://www.zoochat.com/266/river-safari-details-revealed-150718/

The open date is supposed to be late 2012. Hopefully.

There is a photo of this exhibit's scale model in the gallery as well, so hopefully the finished product will look just like this. At least I hope so.

It's anyone's guess how this exhibit will turn out... the park officials are boasting that this will be one of the largest freshwater exhibit tanks in the world (2,000 cubic metres).

If all of the Zoo's manatees (or managongs if you believe the artist) move here, there will be at least 9.

We'll know if the artist's impression is accurate in December if there aren't anymore construction delays...
