I visited this zoo with my wife yesterday and have uploaded 13 photos of the new Expedition Asia exhibit complex to the gallery. I have a couple more of close-up shots of animals that I can add, just wanted to get the main photos of exhibits and what not posted first. I will say that it definitely stands out from the rest of the zoo in a fantastic way. It for sure will grow up over time as the trees planted get larger and will look pretty good when they do as right now the exhibits do look a little barren with little shade. But overall I think this is a step in the right direction for this zoo.
I did see that their next projects are updating the outside portion of their chimpanzee habitat, and their major renovation coming up includes adding their giraffe savannah.
The Australian Walk-a-bout was closed during our visit and we were not able to go inside of the American Flamingo aviary.
Even with seeing the fancy new exhibit complex, my highlight of the day was probably seeing two very active Spotted Hyenas, Charlie and Nia. Of all the places I've been so far the hyenas are usually off exhibit or hiding pretty well that I haven't been able to get good photos.
