I’m spending a lot of my time thinking about December, and its not just because the temperatures are climbing or that the mosquitoes are swarming, although those things do make me wish summer was over some days. I’m thinking about African Forest, and specifically about the 10 chimpanzees that will be making their Houston debut at the end of 2010.
African Forest started on paper more than 5 years ago
A lot of work goes into opening a new exhibit and adding a new species to the zoo’s collection, so over the next few months be sure to come out to the zoo to enjoy Dinosaurs, baby Baylor, and all the other cool stuff that happens at the zoo every day. When you can’t be at the zoo in person, check back here for some behind the scenes stories of how we’re getting ready for the for the biggest thing to hit Houston since the World’s Cutest Animal came to town.
A year ago, the future site of the chimpanzee exhibit was just an open field
