Beautiful shot of the exhibit and its inhabitants. Interesting that there appears to be an in-water transfer gate at the back of the exhibit.
 
Copenhagen Zoo certainly has spent a fortune on new exhibits during the past decade. Between "The Arctic Ring" complex (polar bears, musk ox, wolves, reindeer, harbour seals, etc, costing 15 million pounds; the Elephant Complex costing 32 million pounds; the Giant Aviary at over 4 million pounds; 2007's Hippo House at more than 9 million pounds; plus several smaller developments! The zoo has had a dramatic overhaul and so what is up next?

* Those figures were obtained from a very long and informative review of Copenhagen Zoo in the latest issue of Zoo Grapevine. There is also a 2-page review of "Northern Europe's largest aquarium" (Blue Planet) also located in Copenhagen.
