I love the ibis! He looks so displeased, but his feathers are gorgeous.

aye-aye, yes? do you have any higher-res shots, by any chance?

Also, are the ape enclosures still triangular?

Aye-aye indeed. I took three pretty decent shots of it (this one's the best) and the originals are 2000 x 3000 pixels (1.5 megs).

I didn't notice the shape of the ape enclosures. The gorilla enclosure was a pretty standard rectangle as i recall. Why do you ask?

one of Durrell's books covered the building of the ape enclosure - triangular, so they could all spy on the neighbours

Any chance you could email aya-aye pic to dolphins qat iinet net au? It would be a dandy start to a lovecraftian photoshop...

I sent it, but I'm not sure that I decoded your email properly. Let me know--you can email me and I'll attach the doc to your reply.

Love the bat exhibit. The tethered binoculars are a real nice touch.

It's so weird to see all the bats hanging low like that.
