I rather like this - an interesting twist on the geographical theme. I remember Dudley Zoo were considering a series of themed exhibits based on different explorers at one time.

I really wish they hadn't used 'Moon Bear' as the common name for Asian Black Bear, though.

I quite enjoyed the interesting twist on the geographical theme, and this section of the zoo features a handful of top-notch exhibits. Also, the term "moon bear" seems odd but another bear name that has been phased out of many North American zoos is "spectacled". It seems that the majority of zoos are going with the name "Andean" instead.
