Summer Vacation Redux #8: Omaha: Henry Doorly Zoo, part 9 of 11

At this point, we chose to ride the Sky Lift back to the front of the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha.  Basically a ski lift designed to move people from the far hill of the African Savannah habitats over the rest of the African Savannah habitats back to the heart of the front portion of the zoo.  The vistas were great.  The opportunity to linger at many exhibits--was just not possible.  But we still had amazing views of animals.

 Cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus.

 African Bush Elephants, Loxodonta africana.

 Southern White Rhinoceros, Ceratotherium simum.

The Sky Lift presented a great view of the Desert Dome.  Just how large it is, is apparent from this vantage point.
