    The picture in the new story is a prehensile-tailed skink (Corucia zebrata)

    Is this zoo worth a visit? Does it have anything that is very special and unique?

    Just visited for the first time today. I found a reference on an old map to a small aviary by the Safari Grill that, according to a 2012 review from @snowleopard held "superb starlings and Rothschild's peacock pheasants". The building still shows up on the map but is not labeled as an exhibit, and I missed it while I was there. Can anyone confirm if that is still an active exhibit that is open to the public? I know @Echobeast has been there very recently, and @bugboiben was the last to upload photos; do either of you know about it?

    Also wasn't able to find white-bellied go-away-bird in the Discovery Center, even though it was signed. And are there still sarus cranes somewhere?

    A couple of additional notes for those familiar with the place: the snow leopard enclosure is now a second lion enclosure, while the serval and squirrel monkey/king vulture cages are no longer present and those three species have apparently left the collection.
