Hippo and Birds at Beauval, 12/06/18

The hippo enclosure is netted over and stocked with birds including Pink-backed Pelicans, Abdim's, Yellow-billed and African Openbill Storks, Grey-necked Crowned Cranes, Hammerkop, White-headed and Palmnut Vultures, African Spoonbills, Sacred, Hadada and Southern Bald Ibis, White-headed Duck, Cape Teal, Blue-winged Goose and more. There are also separate paddocks for Lowland Nyala and Red River Hog, as well as a Malawi cichlid tank and a carp-stocked pool for the hippos.

What is the tall structure under construction in the background? Another addition to an already intriguing zoo.

@reduakari It's a massive tropical house, which will re-house the manatees alongside other species like Pygmy Hippo and Komodo Dragons: LE DÔME HORS NORMES du ZooParc de Beauval
