Ah yes, they are right by the entrance near the African Gold Crowned Cranes. Along the stream in front of the aviary.

African Gold Crowned Cranes?

I know there are west african black crowned crane and gray crowned crane. Never heard of the gold crowned crane.

No, its one of the exhibits along the stream. The exhibit was cut in half and the paca has the one closest to the inside of the zoo. The exhibit has been renovated slightly with rock formations that serve as shade structures or caves. If you know the main entrance of the Wild Animal Park, the exhibit is practically that quality.

Gold Crowned Crane, I believe, is another name for Grey Crowned Cranes, I've always called them that so.. I may be mistaken.
