Thanks for the tour of the Oceans building. Do you know what specific exhibits were in this building when it was called "Waters" that were subsequently replaced? You mention crocodiles in your tour introduction.
@DavidBrown I wish I could answer that with a detailed response but unfortunately only the few photos on Zoochat are my source. For an attraction that only closed in 2006 it's surprising you won't find any photos of Waters elsewhere. First, I'd like to say I misspoke, I meant Caiman, not crocodile Based on the old photos, I truly believe everything was overhauled, and nothing was left behind and reused. The only ones that were left untouched were the sea lion viewing, penguin, and polar bear exhibits. Other than that, the rest are brand new. Maybe someone who has seen Waters can say otherwise.
From those photos you reference it looks like they had an Amazon exhibit with a crocodilian species, an Indiana pond exhibit with native turtles and fish, and a mangrove exhibit with scarlet ibis and presumably other bird species.
