Ever go on one of their "plant days"? They have tours pointing out the various plants, and they also open the orchid house to the public (my favorite part!) Many years ago, when they first opened up "Tiger River", they had a gharial exhibit as part of the walk. But they were removed a few years later and moved behind the reptile house. I guess they weren't thriving there. I have been in poor health these past few years and haven't been to the zoo in years. Our youngest goes all the time to both parks. Take care.
I love their plant days! If you can make it out to the zoo, you'd love their new renovations the past 5 years. The children's zoo area has been totally changed. Hope your health allows you a chance to get out there.
