The Houston Zoo Opens New African Wild Dog Exhibit           

Blaze is the boss. Aries is curious. Mikita is the cautious one. They are the newest addition to the naturally wild Houston Zoo. They’re African wild dogs and they’ve just packed up and moved into their new home. Located near African lions, spectacled bears, and Ankole cattle, the new African wild dog exhibit features amenities that would make any canine feel right at home, including a pool and a cabana. The exhibit’s pool is 7 feet by 12 feet and 1.5 feet deep. The cabana is a 12 feet by 12 feet shade structure. The exhibit is landscaped with trees and sod and features two dens. Zoo guests may observe Blaze, Aries and Mikita from a shaded viewing area.
