And I am distressed. I loved zoos as a child, and Woodland Park Zoo was my second home. When the Nocturnal House opened, I was fascinated, and it immediately became my favorite. I went there for hours and hours. Now it's going to be closed, a victim of budget cuts. I guess I assumed that it would be open forever. Thank god I saw it last year with my family.

Rats! I love that kind of thing, and I'm sorry they can't see their way to keeping it open. I remember when I first saw something similar at the Brookfield Zoo. You could just stand right there in it. The Outback habitat was similar: I was on a walkway that was open to the animals. One of them hopped up onto the railing near me, so I stood and looked at it until it hopped down near the Tasmanian Devil (who looks so much taller in the movies, you know).
