American Bison/Wild Turkey/Mule Deer Exhibit
05-07-2011
Many of the zoo\'s larger animals live in a row of large pins across the street from the zoo. The bison/turkey/deer exhibit must be an acre or two in size.
Indian peafowl are found in almost every exhibit. Advertisement

It is great to see such a large paddock for the bison, mule deer and turkeys, but are there any other viewing opportunities besides through chain-link fencing? That style of containment is ugly, cheap and it seriously hinders viewing options for the public.

Why does there seem to be a standoff barrier inside the exhibit?? usually these tend to be outside..just seems a bit strange

 Chain-link is never going to be the prettiest barrier, but it's lower-maintenance than glass, cheaper and less space-hungry than digging a ha-ha or moat and very resilient. And if you can get right up to it, it's often easier to take photos through than highly-reflective glass. I think a small zoo would see many advantages. |

@snowleopard: No, this is sadly the only viewing on this long row. I would have appreciated soemthing else, but as this zoo is free, its funding is very limited.
@foz: I would guess it has to do with the bison being able to break over the chainlink fence. But as it continues into the rhea and emu exhibits I am as confused as you are. EDIT: Maguari posted while I was typing. |

@kczoofan: the fencing in the rhea and emu exhibits are probably just left there from when they housed other species. Seems like some species have swapped yards since I was last there. |
