I think the sign said that she has been named "Ilse" or was it "Elise"? Never mind...
Anyway, the first time for me to see this beautiful animal. Last time I visited she was invisible. Her enclosure is good: 2000 sq meters is my guess. The newest enclosure in the park, I believe.
But this time she showed up and followed me and my friends as we walked by her territory. We were all pretty convinced that she actually "followed" us - she seemed to look at us and keep pace with our movements. She ran in and out of the water as she followed us and I had a hard time trying to take her picture. Most of them turned out crap!
See earlier pictures like this one to get a sense of her enclosure:
