River's Edge - Asian Elephant Exhibit

This excellent area is a lushly planted meandering loop trail which has a common thread of water features that form waterfalls, streams, moats, swimming pools, and even an aquarium. The trail interprets four geographic areas with representative exhibits for each, mostly mammals. The four areas are South America, Africa, Asia, and Missouri.

Great set of pictures from what appears to be a high quality zoo in general. It made me look at all the pictures in the gallery and check out the zoo´s web page.

Many very good looking exhibits. Interesting to see an open top climbing cat enclosure. I have read somewhere that in many USA states this is not allowed.

In fact, that 1920s bear grotto appears to be bigger than the ones that were built 30 years later in my home zoo, Copenhagen.

And as always - I am fascinated by the efforts put into landscaping architecture, artificial rockworks etc in US zoos.

Nice job, geomorph!
