The El Paso Zoo will be enlarging its footprint next year with the opening of a whole new section of the zoo featuring African wildlife. From what I understand the exhibit is house giraffe, zebra, and lion. Does anyone else have information regarding this new area?
According to this article, the new african expansion opens on March 13, 2010. Surprisingly, neither the El Paso Zoo website nor the zoological society website make any mention of it?!!
Ok, the zoo now has this link on their website. Apparently the March opening will just feature lions and meerkats, while the giraffes, zebras and antelope will arrive sometime this summer.
