Sitatunga enclosure - Water World and Monkey Islands

While not exactly comparable to Exmoor's enclosure, it's still very nice to see a wetland-themed enclosure for this swamp-dwelling ungulate that so often is seen in savannahs at zoos.
@Summer Tanager it really is a great enclosure, and one of very few in Europe that provides them with a wetlands or swamp-like habitat as opposed to a grassland or savannah-like one, much more reminiscent of where they would be found in the wild and a nice change. It was really nice to see sitatunga wading in the streams, near one of the bridges at the back of the enclosure.

I am not sure where else does it. The best example I have seen (even better than this excellent one) is at Exmoor, and I remember reading that Odense in Denmark has a similar enclosure although I haven’t seen it in person. Not sure where else.
