What we did.
We transformed the entire animal enclosure in the rainforest exhibit, enhancing the environment to create a more realistic and natural habitat for the animals. Our work focused on ensuring the space not only looked authentic but also improved the animals’ comfort and well-being. We specifically addressed the Gila monster enclosures by integrating a custom-engineered, naturally heated warming stone into the rock sculptures, providing a habitat feature that mimics their natural desert environment. Additionally, we refurbished all containment enclosures, including intricate rockwork designed for durability and authenticity. The result? A fully immersive, functional, and comfortable space for both the animals and visitors alike.
