Aug. 6th, 2012. This is an excellent building that has 3 major zones: Deserts & Dry Places; Under the Canopy Rainforest Life; and Ozarks. There are 9 species of rattlesnake and 43 species in total within the structure, and outside are yards for Aldabra tortoises, leopard tortoises, western tufted deer and an open-topped bald eagle enclosure. The building is actually called Diversity of Life Exhibits and for a tiny zoo it is a surprisingly solid addition and arguably the highlight of an entire visit.
