Has anybody else been wondering why we haven't seen the sea lions at Riverbanks Zoo for quite some time? We just found out why:
Riverbanks Zoo has begun construction on a new, interactive exhibit that will open in the spring of 2010. The exhibit, located at the original sea lion site, will feature three red kangaroos and eight wallabies.

Wallabies, aye mate? Well. There goes the neighborhood. Walking around in circles, a buncha baked druggies, they'll probably bring gangs to the zoo, too.
-
Of course not. I know there's good wallabies and there's bad wallabies. Everybody knows that.

“One of the reasons Riverbanks has been so successful is because we strive to keep the guest experience fresh and exciting,” said Satch Krantz, executive director of Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. “By adding the kangaroo exhibit to the Zoo we are giving our guests the chance to come face-to-face with an animal found halfway around the world; that certainly will be an experience they won't forget.”

I'll say. High wallabies will be an experience I'm not likely to forget. Riverbanks has been premiering innovative habitats for many years. I've done my share of bragging about it. The wallabies exhibit promises to live up to Riverbanks' standard and I can't wait to visit. The wallabies habitat will offer a path directly through the exhibit. Visitors can touch and interact with the animals. Score, maybe? (slap me) (ok, ok, I'll stop)

What's this got to do with sea lions? The wallabies are taking over the former sea lion location, to your left upon entrance, just passed the grizzlies. The sea lions are on an extended vacation, but have promised to return someday.

"Red kangaroos are the world’s largest marsupial and are native to Australia. They use their powerful hind legs to hop around and can reach speeds up to 35 mph. Red-necked wallabies grow to be....." screech! Wait a sec. Who you callin' red-necked? How's that? We're not just getting wallabies. We're getting "red necked wallabies." Yeah. Who's stereotyping now? I can talk all I want about those Tasmanian opium-addicted wallabies. If it ain't right to stereotype wallabies, then how come SC is gettin' the red-necked ones?
