Giant anteaters are not strictly grassland animals; they are also found in various types of forest through their range. It's not inappropriate to include them in a "jungle" exhibit.

It may also just take time for the plants to grow. RotA at the LA Zoo looked bare when it first opened, but the plants have grown since then and it looks more jungley now... and will continue to look even more so in the future.
Exactly that is a great point you made
It will take time. Akron's Grizzly Ridge is finally beginning to fill in nicely and it opened in 2013. More may get added once the Conservation Solarium is in place since they are next door to each other.
Jungle Odyssey and Dinosaurs are now on the Pittsburgh app. Just open the app to allow it to update.
They have been cleaning and rehabbing the sea otter exhibit. That should reopen ASAP. More work has to be done on Coolio's exhibit. Dinosaurs and Jungle Odyssey were the priority to open them on time. I expect by late June maybe. Perhaps earlier. Perhaps later.
Finally got to see jungle oddysey- I enjoyed it. I got to talk to keeper Mo brown and meet some off exhibit jungle oddysey animals- Kaboom. Sea otters are still off exhibit same with springboks. Mo told me as of now the zoo will get Andean bears for the mountain exhibit
Are the springboks returning? I thought they should be gone. They are not on the app. Are the new maps in yet?
With the Dinosaurs this year only, I am beginning to wonder what the zoo has planned for this area. This has given them an opportunity to start working on this area. Dinosaurs technically could have been next year instead of this year because it will be an off-year. I wonder if an exhibit may eventually go in this area.
Springboks are indeed gone and yes the new maps are in
Honestly that was what I am thinking but I don't know what they would put hopefully some Australia stuff
If you have one, take a photo and put it in the gallery.
Australia would be good. A would be a good place to put a new exhibit in an off-year for the Top of the World. Even if it was a less expensive one.
