historic elephant house at Wellington Zoo

reptiles and fruit bats

this building is going to be demolished at the start of August 2010 (in just a few days): http://www.zoochat.com/17/historic-elephant-house-demolished-163403/

in the end this building wasn't entirely demolished, but rather refurbished and turned into a "tuck shop" with some room for Australian reptile tanks.

The new look can be seen here http://www.zoochat.com/15/old-elephant-house-wellington-zoo-205615/ (not looking a lot different from the angle apart for the colour, but most of the building is actually gone)
