jbnbsn99's Texas Zoos #2

[ZooMan Texas]

I visited Moody not too long ago. The two pyramids I visited, the aquarium and the rainforest, were quite nice, but pretty small, i.e, it took me a little over an hour to go through both of them, and for the price you pay, over $20 each pyramid, thats an expensive way to spend around $50. The collection in the aquarium is quite good, puffins, penguins, fur seals, all breeding, bur the rainforest pyramid was all presentation, very beautiful, but VERY few species. A pudu, an ocelot, some egyptian fruit bats, a very few, mostly common, herps, butterfly area, few common tropical fish, and thats about it. But, yes, the giant otter exhibit has to be the best in the world, with a giant fake rockwork mt as the backdrop, which i doubt the animal ever uses. People seemed happy with it, which illustrates a point I have had trouble learning, for some people, presentation is whats important, not the rarity, health, and breeding record of the specimen or species at that institution.

Thanks for the review ZooMan Texas.

“White elk come from Europe and brown elk come from North America”
“Lemurs are small monkeys from Madagascar”
“Kinkajous are small monkeys from South America”
“There are only 300 gaur left in the world”

Can we play spot the error?

What an appalling display of ignorance! Kinkajous are also native to Central America.
