Giants of the Savanna - South habitat

Hmmmm

Lots of effort to recreate a natural floodplain with eroded mudbanks....ruined by totally unrealistic waterfalls coming out of nowhere defying gravity. This exhibit has great potential, huge scope and from the photos many nice aspects. But with poorly executed details like this, and the obtrusive enrichment towers lining the rear fenceline, I don't think this complex is quite ready to dethrone CGF or even AROL in the pantheon of great exhibits.
 
I think you might have found the one drawback about the non-naturalistic waterfalls, but they do look better in person. As for the towers, don't judge them by what you see. Currently they are painted 3 different colors to see which one is least obtrusive. They aren't finished yet, but will blend in a lot more when completed.
