The fishing cat underwater viewing is a nice upgrade from when I saw them at the old Cat House (which had a very small pond and no underwater viewing). Although the cat collection is now diminished, it is still a nice collection. I like the addition of genet and civet. However I do not like the nocturnal lighting (I have never liked any nocturnal exhibit that I have seen). Do they keep the main lights on for a brief period (say right at opening or closing?)
I still have a poster (which I had framed) that I bought on my visit commemorating the Cat House. Wait I just remembered I have two posters from the Cat House, this panoramic one (which I have on display) and a more traditional shaped one (that I have in storage). I posted a photo of the panoramic one on ZooChat a while back. Here it is:
@Arizona Docent Ironically I believe the water was high at the time due to a malfunction. Regardless, as I state in the video, because of the circumstances, there's no point in have the water so high.
If only Yala, the civet, was still alive. Despite stating her exhibit was filled after her absence, it was misleading of me to add a clip of her. Due to her rarity, I believe she needed to be mentioned.
Lastly, the lights are turned back on just after 9AM, so only members can get a chance to see the daylight setting. Or, if you're like me, you get lucky and some of the lights are turned on without explanation.
