And meercats too!

Over two years in construction, the new "Elephant Crossing" has opened at our Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. I can't wait! The one thing I will miss about the old pachyderm house is the Viktor Schreckengost sculpture at the entrance.
But based on the peeks I've sneaked online (check out the video of elephant Shenga taking a swim!), it looks phenomenal. I like that they have a place that looks like home (even if they've never seen "home"). It assuages my guilt at enjoying their captivity.
