Looking back from Staten Island to New Jersey and New York.

Bronx Zoo had several special wildlife zones.
This is rainforest zone.
|
This leopards enclosure is designed to allow him to sit comfortably on the big log and be very visible.
|
The building was split into rooms, being pumped with steam.
Each room had a number of different plants and animals, not always visible, but effective.

|
These are Malayan Tapirs, one of my favourite zoo models when I was kid.
They are highly elusive in the wild.
|
The Congo section had Gorillas!
|
The area was designed with fake rock walls and tracking signs which was effective, but this gorilla viewing area stole the show.

|
Some were feeding and watching the yougsters play...
|
... others just sat back out of the way.
