Description
The $10.6 million exhibit was the first new feature at the zoo since its 1988 renovation, incorporating behavioral-enrichment features including heated rocks, shaded caves and trees, fog, and a waterfall. Public sources (WCS press materials and press coverage) name the funding and opening details but do not identify an exhibit designer or architect of record; only Hadley's own portfolio documents its fabrication role.
