Elephant odyssey update

Same here, I am hoping to visit in Summer of 2017, when Africa Rocks opens and despite all the unfortunate cuts (Aye-Aye, Zebra, Warthog) and animals that were speculated but never made it to plans (Hyena- Made early plans, Lion). I hope it lives up to the hype unlike some elephant exhibit they built :p.

I am also hoping it will live up to the hype.

List of cuts include-
Zebras
hornbills
spotted hyenas
warthogs
aye-ayes
patas monkeys
mouse lemurs

I am excited for the baboon, and ibex exhibits that look awesome. I am also interested in how the African leopard situation plays out.

I like EO, I see why people don't though. The elephant and South American holding areas are major eyesores. I like the jaguar exhibit, and I love that huge elephant pool.

Why does everyone hate elephant odyssey? Just cause of a couple bad lion and jaguar enclosures? Say what you will but I actually like it.

Likes- The elephant exhibit is very spacious, and the pool is huge. While the jaguar exhibit is a little small it has great climbing areas. The rattlesnake exhibit is also great. The south American yards are decent and contain 2 of my favorite animals, tapirs, and capybara. The condor aviary is huge and even though I ran past it to see Ranchipour (The zoos bull who passed away in August) It still a tall wonderful exhibit. Lastly the sloth and dik dik exhibit is roomy as well.

Dislikes- The elephant care center and South American holding areas are major eyesores. The boring dusty hoofstock yards are nothing to brag about either. (There where originally going to be wild horses and sloth bears.) Lastly the lion exhibit is ugly and small. Another reason people dislike it is because it replaced he popular horn & hoof mesa.

Overall- I consider EO to be a decent exhibit with a few flaws. What I think they should do is phase out domestic horses and get wild horses. I may be a little bias sense I love seeing elephants and their are none down here in Chicago so I always love elephant exhibits and the awesome San Diego Zoo.

I'm just teasing, I like the elephant exhibit it is huge, but care center is a giant building right in the middle, and I would have liked it if it had some grass, and I don't like the Ultiltrees, why not put real trees, maybe if the ultiltrees held food they would be better but they don't, atleast I don't think they do.
 
yes true the care center is a giant building right in the middle and a eyesores as is South American holding ares and i I don't like the Ultiltree Lastly the lion exhibit is ugly and small. true but the rest is great it should have.
 
I went to the zoo today. The only thing that is changing at the lion and jaguar exhibits is some of the netting is being replaced and the poles holding the netting is being sanded and repainted.
