First some facts about the rainforest displays. The rainforests of Asia, Africa and South America are displayed in 3 separate domes. The African dispay covers an area of 500 m2, the Asian display covers an area of 700 m2 og the largest dome - the South American display covers an area of 2000 m2. The domes are formed of a lattice of steel supports and about 3000 polycarbonat triangles.
Enough facts and on to the fun stuff. We scurried across a treetop bridge, watched the coatis ransack a hut, fed the manatees, tracked armadillos, touched snakes, spied on the aardvarks and tasted crickets and meal worms. We ended our visit at the newly opened farm theme area and enjoyed the pastoral joys of sheep and pigs.
