Fun little video I found of Africa Rocks .

I watched the first 50 seconds and could not take any more. (Maybe it gets better, but I couldn't wait it out).

Skip to 2:50 for the actual exhibit. The kid thankfully stops talking.

why? Surely if it visible they have no grounds to stop you doing so?

IDK. I didamage to get some pictures from the moving walkway.

Thoughts?

Kind of pointless to post pictures now that we have a video.

To be fair, a low quality vertically recorded phone video doesn't exactly make photos from zoochat members "pointless".

My photos are from a distance and don't show much anyways.

Did anyone else notice that kangaroos are now shown next to the koalas on the new map?

That's a wallaby, kangaroos are still where they always are.

I do not recognize this employee but one one the first things I noticed is that he has a straw. Straws are not allowed in the zoo for animal safety.

The geladas have been at the zoo for a couple of months.

I went on the Africa Rocks behind the scenes tour 1 month ago and they told me the Geladas were the only animal part of Africa Rocks not currently at the zoo.

Interesting. If they move the kangaroos to the current cheetah/dog enclosure, that would create a unified Australia area, removing a bit of urban jungle's hodgepodge. Get red of the red river hogs as they are already at Ituri forest. Combine rhino and giraffe enclosures into an African watering hole contiguous with Africa Rocks and put the Cheetah/Dog and donkey/zebra enclosures together to form an Animal Ambassador area. Urban Jungle solved!

 

[The_UltimateBea]

What do you think of combining bear canyon and fern canyon into a new area?
