River's Edge habitat renovation

Something exciting is being built at the zoo! The River's Edge habitats will be home to giant otters, capuchin monkeys, and golden-headed lion tamarins. Guests will be able to explore above and below the water line of the forest. The space will include paved walkways, interpretive signage, and unique opportunities for viewing the animals in their naturalistic habitats.
