I promised you another update, and here one is
From behind the food court, you can now see an
elevated viewing area from behind the stands. On closer inspection,
you can see animals through the windows. One of the animals you can see is a
Scimitar-Horned Oryx, and this prompts you to explore behind the food court.
Walking around, you come across the
upwards path, and ascend. Looking to your left you can look back
across the foodcourt, and ahead you can see the layout of the
peaceful raised area.
Right from the viewing area you can see down into the
main desert area, featuring a mixture of the Scimitar-Horned Oryx you spotted earlier and some Addax. The desert animals seem
quite at home in the exhibit, climbing over sand dunes and patchy grass. As night falls, the
animals settle down to sleep. The desert animals are peaceful to watch, though every so often
one will decide to gallop around!The exhibit to the left features a
lush savannah, containing many African grazers such as Wildebeest, Giant Sable Antelope, East African Oryx, Springbok and
Thompson's Gazelles. The East African Oryx seem
just as lively as their desert counterparts, and many of the savannah animals seem to enjoy chasing each other around. The rather shy
male Giant Sable Antelope is a wonderful dark colour, and tends to stay peacefully by the poolside rather than race about like the smaller antelope.
