The backside of the Wetlands Aviary outside the Hippo House in the Hippotopia theme in ZOO Antwerpen. This part of the aviary is made up of a row of older aviaries where the birds can get some privacy from visitors. This semi-spacious walkthrough aviary features a multitude of various water-dwelling avian species:
- Waldrapp (Geronticus eremita)
- Scarlet ibis (Eudocimus ruber)
- Eurasian spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia)
- Abdims stork (Ciconia abdimii)
- Great egret (Egretta alba)
- Southern lapwing (Vanellus chilensis)
- Eurasian oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus)
- Purple swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio)
- Giant wood-rail (Aramides ypecaha)
- Madagascar teal (Anas bernieri)
Hippotopia opened in 2006 and is one of the newest themes in the zoo housing various wetland creatures.
