Animals of the Night

There are only a handful of exhibits devoted to nocturnal animals in the United States - and Memphis has one of them.

Residents of Animals of the Night have their daylight hours reversed from ours - which means its always dusk during the day. There's plenty of light, however, to see incredible exhibit areas featuring floor-to-ceiling glass.

The highlight of the exhibit is the center bat flight, which has open viewing on two sides and features over 400 bats.

Factoid:

This exhibit was renovated in the late 1990s. It used to be a home to primates and was the site for the giant panda, which visited the Memphis Zoo in 1987.
