Raincity upgrades Amazon Gallery at Vancouver Aquarium
Among the upgrades for 2011, a new Amazon buttress tree will house the new exotic insects exhibit soon to open at the Vancouver Aquarium. The team at Raincity has been working through the winter to upgrade existing favorites such as the Otter Tanks, but the upcoming opening of the Tropical gallery will showcase the majority of the new rockwork. The Anaconda Exhibit, perhaps the most technical tank to operate, mimics the muddy banks of the Amazon River, complete with mangrove vines. Access to the tank is accomplished through a concrete staircase cleverly disguised in the roots and tree trunks. Handlers can even use the vines… Tarzan!
