Summer Vacation Redux #8: Omaha: Henry Doorly Zoo, part 7 of 11


From the Lemur Island exhibit at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, the path led to the Lagoon and covered bridge to traverse the large water feature.  Viewing of an island home to a troop of Geoffroy's Spider Monkeys, Ateles geoffroyi, was excellent from mid-bridge, and then it was on to the home of the California Sea Lions, Zalophus californianus.  A large pool with nearby support structures, you get the feel of a long-established habitat for these impressive aquatic mammals.
