New homes for our hippos and penguins! This special new exhibit design enhances their environments and supports successful breeding programs for both species, while giving our guests extraordinary new ways to view their daily lives. Nile hippos and African penguins face surmounting threats in the wild, so it’s important that we try to inspire people to take conservation action on behalf of these, and other, species.

A special thank you to the generous donors of the Making Waves capital campaign, which made Water’s Edge: Africa possible.
