 * //Tropic World houses the zoo's primates. Built in the 1980's, it was the largest indoor exhibit of its kind at that time. Separated into three sections, each section represents an ecosystem from one of three continents -- South America, Asia, and Africa. //**


 * //Watch especially for how different species utilize separate areas of the same habitat so that more species can survive in less space. //**


 * //Here is a wonderful video of the exhibit. //**
