Burgers Desert - Peccary exhibit

Part of the exhibit for collared peccaries in Burgers Desert, the large indoor Sonorian desert in Burgers Zoo.

These exhibits look good, they are well furnished and even the fake rocks don´t look that "fake". However, I am never satisfied when mammals are being kept indoors all the time. Are there outdoors enclosures as well?

No, but the pure size of the exhibit here makes them obsolete. The peccaries in Burgers have more space in their very naturalistic desert exhibit than most older peccary exhibits I have seen have totally. It stretches on further to the left of the frame.

These photos remind me of Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo's enormous "Desert Dome" building.

Burger's is much better than Omaha--no tiny cramped exhibits for cats, birds and reptiles.

The tunnel between the RainForest and the Desert contains some of the most amazing "scary" adventure caves I've ever seen.

Burger's focuses only on the Sonoran Desert, and is more successful because it is not trying to squeeze in an African and Australian desert too, as Omaha does.

Truly one of the best exhibits in one of the world's best zoos.
