Wondrous landscapes help to enhance the up-close encounters with animals from around the world.
Easily the most popular permanent exhibit is Louisiana Swamp Exhibit, where Cypress trees, Spanish moss, white alligators, and other assorted creatures of the swamp are set in a beautifully accurate recreation of a Bayou landscape. The exhibit couples the natural history of the Louisiana swamps with the cultural history, offering spicy Cajun cuisine the opportunity to witness an alligator feeding.
