Reptile House

Aug. 13th, 2014.

In general, were there any species in this reptile house you found noteworthy?

@JigerofLemuria I don't have a species list handy as it would take too long to go through all of my photos that are saved on my laptop, but here is a brief review of the zoo that I copied and pasted from 'Snowleopard's 2014 Road Trip'.

Pueblo Zoo – This 30-acre zoo is fairly small with only 450 animals and the highlight is the excellent North American River Otter exhibit. Elsewhere are Sichuan Takin, White-Handed Gibbons and a Sun Bear in Asian Adventure; Islands of Life is a 1930’s-era WPA building with 20 species; there is a really neat Historic Section (again from the 1930’s WPA zoo-building era) with abandoned bear pits and an empty and overgrown Monkey Island; World of Colour is a Herpetarium that looks amazing from outside but only has 13 species on display; and an “Ecocenter” building has penguins and a shabby-looking mini-rainforest. There are many other exhbits but nothing to set the heart racing and I spent an hour and a half at this zoo.
