Was this located near the Prairie Geyser, by any chance? I remember the plans showing the pathway to the new exhibits would start there and cross over the Tram Road.
@Ebirah766 Most of the species you listed were not in the plans as of last year. Maybe those plans changed but I highly doubt it. You have any source on the information? The species list I know of is tiger, red panda, komodo dragon, Chinese alligator, warty pig, gibbon, asian small-clawed otter, vulture, hornbill, and crane.
I misremembered. In any case, I still think that is a highly generic list and it will not be an exceptional Asian exhibit, which is disappointing, I think that North Carolina Zoo has great potential but is squandering it on silly things.
