Zoo
Atlanta unveiled a new state-of-the-art amphibian and reptile complex featuring more than 70 species on
Thursday April 2, 2015. Scaly Slimy Spectacular: The Amphibian and
Reptile Experience is an $18 million project housing around 100
individual animals representing more than 70 species from around the
world.
This
exhibit includes more than 65 animal habitats and some 60,000 gallons
of water in its aquatic environments, including a 30-foot
naturalistic waterfall and a river designed to replicate Georgia’s
own Flint River system.
Habitats represent some of the world’s most
iconic wild places, including a windswept desert, African savanna,
Australian billabong, mangrove swamp, Georgia tidal creek, Pacific
Northwest stream and many more. The complex’s Georgia eXtremes
section houses native species and showcases Georgia’s role as a
North American hotspot of biodiversity.
“This
is a truly special moment for the Zoo Atlanta family. This is a
project that has been years in the making,” said Raymond B. King,
President and CEO. “It’s incredibly rewarding to finally have the
experience open for everyone to enjoy. We think our visitors are
going to be floored when they see the complex, not just by what they
see inside, but also by just how different Scaly Slimy Spectacular is
from anything else in the Zoo, or anything else in the city, for that
matter.”
As
part of the media opening week a group of selected families and
children had the opportunity to be the first people to ever spend the
night at the new amphibian and reptile exhibit.
The private guided
tour at the zoo, animal encounters and all the themed game activities
was so much fun. Also, exploring the zoo at night with night vision
goggles was a huge hit among the kids.
This is one of those things
every child should at least experience once in their lifetime.
Zoo
Atlanta is open 363 days a year; closed only on Thanksgiving and
Christmas Day.
