Thanks for posting these preview photos, and Sea Lion Cove seems like a massive improvement on the badly outdated pool that I saw on my 2011 visit. Fresno Chaffee Zoo is one of 9 American and Canadian zoos (courtesy of Valley Zoo in Edmonton) that will have brand-new pinniped complexes within a period of about 9 months. Many have already opened or will shortly (Tulsa, Saint Louis, Valley, Fresno Chaffee, Blank Park, etc).
Based on photos, reviews, and video, this is probably my second favorite sea lion exhibit that has opened up this year, coming in a close second after Saint Louis.
