Episode 93
'Wow... wow... WOW!' is all you'll manage to say if you ever get the privilege of experiencing THE LIED JUNGLE (Pronounced 'Leed'). At just over an acre, it opened as and holds the title of North America's largest indoor rainforest. 2,000 live plants, over 100 secure and free roaming animals under an 80 foot high translucent ceiling - supported by massive buttress tree facades. Gibbons sing and swing, tapirs snorkle, otters squeak, and free to fly BATS soar over your head! Enjoy what is still considered to be one of the greatest, unmatched, and unbelievable exhibits ever built.

Scott Richardson's America's Top 100 Zoos and Aquariums Book
Link: [ Ссылка ]
"The first-ever comprehensive overview of America's top zoos and aquariums looks at the history and exhibits of the world's biggest and most influential zoo community. Indeed, this book represents the first critical look at U.S. aquariums in 24 years - a period in which much has changed. Each essay concludes with a synopsis of the best exhibits and unusual species to be seen at that particular facility. Also included in this section is an overview of conservational projects at the zoo or aquarium under discussion. Full color imagery illustrates each review; remarkably this is the first time that a guide to U.S. zoos and aquariums has offered such an essential aspect.
