Summary of Transcript:
Tara and Trisha Crowe gave viewers a sneak peek of the new Galapagos Islands exhibit at the Houston Zoo. The show features a sea lion pool, which will house nine sea lions, and a grassy area for the 10 Galapagos tortoises. The exhibit also has a tunnel for guests to walk through and view sea lions swimming overhead, shaded seating, and various sculptures and rocks. The show also has a special area for animal encounters. Trisha’s favorite part of the project is providing an ecologically accurate representation of an area of the world that most Houstonians won’t be able to see, as well as providing an upgrade in the animals’ exhibit and care spaces.
