Gary Poster, with essential assists from Galyn Norwood, Phiroon Phihakendr, Jose Quijada, Pavandeep Kalra. It's like a magnet.
Visitors travel along a re-created tributary of the river to explore a lowland rain forest.
The rainy season, which lasts from January through June, transforms the woodlands into a strange watery world. It isn't inhabited by the usual forest creatures. Another portion of the exhibit re-creates the lowland forest in the dry season. You'll be glad it's behind glass. Visitors see speckled forest vipers and poison dart frogs.
