      I forget : plumed whistling duck are/were on exhibit too;
    • KCZooFan
      Aren't plumed whsitling ducks from Australia?

      You're right but I am sure I saw them in this exhibit (maybe not now).

      I will post a photo with the three species of whistling duck together.

      This photo looks remarkably like the old South American Pampas exhibit at the Bronx Zoo, which is now where Congo Gorilla Forest is located.

      There's something wonderfully comfortable and familiar about South American pampas exhibits. However odd the rest of the zoo, it seems like almost every large zoo I've ever done has some grassy paddock with some combination of tapir/rhea/camelid/mara/capybara/waterfowl - occasionally with additions like anteaters, agoutis or peccaries. It's a nicely reliable exhibit, but with enough possibilities that they don't end up all the same.
