NEW OTTER EXHIBIT OPENS AT CAPE MAY COUNTY ZOO

Cape May County’s resident pair of North American River Otters has officially moved back into their newly renovated habitat at the Zoo, and they seem to love being part of the otter version of “Extreme Makeover”. The otter exhibit was in need of general maintenance and as part of the improvements the pool area was resurfaced to address some cracks and leakage. The entire exhibit was repainted and updated. The project was completed by the Park and Zoo staff with community involvement. Art students and their teachers from Lower Cape May Regional, Middle Township and Ocean City High Schools painted a landscape mural depicting a marsh scene, and Park and Zoo staff did the other improvements to the exhibit.
