The underwater viewing and new house for the giant otters, which given its size, could house the rare giant otter/giraffe hybrid of myth and legend.

I presume they are hoping the pair will breed soon, and they can then display a bigger group (a 'pack') which is how they live in the wild and at places like Duisburg Zoo. Regarding the height, I've no idea what's planned but someone suggested water slides?
 
yes yes YES that is EXACTLY what I wanted :O)
but they both go down one slide and I go down the other - see that I would pay for never mind £75 to feed the giraffes I would give you that to skoosh down the slide with the giant otters!!

But you have to wear a special Giant Otter costume while you are doing it.;)

As you know, I've never seen one (yet) but it does sound like this species appeals a lot from your reaction.
 
It's been said tongue in cheek on a photographic site that this building is for giant people to see giant otters

I love watching the Giant Otters they are a fabulous exhibit when they are around as they are very active, very inquizative and extremely vocal (earsplittingly so!!) catch them at feeding time and you're in for a treat!
 
How would you rate them as an exhibit against the Sealions they replaced?

Do you think Chester have been exonerated from the comments that appeared on here (myself included) about how losing the Sealions might be a bad move exhibitwise?
