I hope that this is not going to be a reflection of future developments at the zoo. I have to admit that Seaworld would never have created such an exhibit. As I trust ZooPros judgement I don't look forward to seeing it at my next visit.

dw guys. They are trying and still working on the wild dogs. First, 'finishing it off' (Building a crush out back) and also making the dogs stay front and centre rather than along the back fence. This was a bit of a design flaw, but *should* be *fairly* easily fixed. I think the issue with the dogs is, they are dogs. They are VERY curious and vicious creatures. They tare things apart, and this makes it hard to give them a 'pretty' enclosure. In terms of this one, it was more function over form.

Having said that, giving it more time (I'm taking years) and it should overgrow into something more suited to their nature.
