I see that there is a tarp in the background. Is that a perimeter of the Northern/“Contact Animals” area or the hippopotamus shoebox?

@PossumRoach that is the direction of the Contact Animal area.

Isn't this the enclosure that also held free-ranging Sitatunga and Shoebills a little while back?

@Mr Gharial yes. The park does still bring one of the shoebills to the aviary to separate the pair before putting them together again for breeding attempts.

@Mr Gharial @PossumRoach my understanding is that the former housing for the Sitatunga is now the Pigmy Hippo enclosures (remodeled obviously)?

@Chlidonias if my memory serves me right the pygmy hippopotamus enclosure might be a new enclosure since I don’t recall any structures in that area of the park (a.k.a. Flower Shower) during my visit in 2016.
