The Cove Forest functions just like a real Southeastern forest and goes through four complete seasons. The birds in the Cove Forest behave as they do in the wild. In the Forest Floor exhibit, some of the animals prefer to stay in underground burrows. Hellbenders are a type of salamander that use camoflauge to hide.
Swamps are a great place to find aquatic turtles.
Turtles will often climb on limbs of fallen trees and stretch out. All rights reserved.
