Thank a lot for the list, it's been several years since I've been ( i.e. Curiosity Caverns and Rhino Rally were open ) so I was curious to hear about some of the additions and changes . The collection has changed so much over the years especially regarding small mammals, hoofstock and birds . Any idea If they still exhibit Giant anteaters in a side exhibit Off of the ramp on the north side of Bird Gardens that crosses the park's Railroad tracks ?

 

[JaxElephant]

I have not seen any Giant anteaters on site.

Are the ostriches the red-necked variety (the endangered one)? I heard that's the kind they have.

Jax Elephant, thank you for this fine list! I like the bullet points in the format. In Jungala, I seem to remember a gharial exhibit with an underwater view tunnel, is that still there?

I'm not sure which subspecies they have, all the ostriches are female and the train guide did not specify.

The former gharial exhibit is now the flying fox exhibit. The tunnel is still there to view the fish and an unknown species of turtle.
