This habitat is split into three sections: an indoor sleeping area, two large outdoor spaces viewable by the public and one off show area.

A walkway tunnel separates the two outdoor areas, with both sides connecting to their indoor sleeping area. Both sides also feature a feeding pool, pools, foliage, with one side also featuring a climbing ramp.

The bottom of the tunnel seamlessly connects to our Nature Area.

This habitat is sponsored by MHA.
