This Asian Small-Clawed Otter Exhibit is the result of the largest single donation to the Dallas Zoo. The exhibit is designed to compliment the adjacent Asian Tiger Exhibit and to enhance the Asian area within the Zoo grounds. Themed structures are true to the architecture of northern Thailand. Components of the exhibit included underwater viewing, visitor shade structure for educational use and holding for one breeding pair and a bachelor group of five otters. This shallow exhibit is designed to achieve up-close observation of a smaller animal in a recreation of its natural habitat. The exhibit includes a view window into an outdoor otter den and accompanying interpretive graphics about otter habitats and conservation.
