Kopje: Island in the Plain March 24, 2010

Look closely at the San Diego Zoo's East African Kopje exhibit and you'll see more than just a rocky face. At work here is the concept of simulating a specific bio-ecological niche -- the first of its kind here at the zoo. You'll find diminutive klipspringers, gregarious dwarf mongooses, rock hyrax, powerful bateleur eagles, and some smaller birds native to this unique African habitat.
