This is my best guess for the location of the old walrus walkthrough exhibit that resulted in the death of one visitor and one staff member.

Yes - there was a photo in the article that indicated that it was around here. It really doesn't look very nice.

@taun

Yes it is a rather strange idea isn't it? However it worked fine until someone fell in and 2 people ended up dead because of it.

@FunkyGibbon @amur leopard
This sounds like a strange and interesting story. Got any links to a more in-depth explanation of what happened?

That is madness, I thought walk through and thought similar to that we see for lemurs. Its not really a walk through based on that photo but a mad obstacle course...walk along what looks like a polished surface so will be slippery when wet with no safety barriers.

I would certainly not entertain walking along that!

@taun from what was said on here before the incident, you would have had no choice. Other than to retrace your steps back through the entire zoo.

@FunkyGibbon really? Madness, think I would retrace my steps then.
