Waypoint: Asia Quest Region 40093188N 83070282W

In the Asian region, you will experience the life of those in the cities and villages of Asia.  You will learn about Asian culture through exhibits and activities.  Some of the animals that you may see are pandas, langurs, fruit bats, sun bears, and the respected Siberian Tiger, which is endangered.
There is also the pachyderm facility to observe.  This exhibit is the largest of its kind, which includes an outdoor area during warm weather.  Elephants are mammals that eat plants.  In 2009, Beco the Asian elephant was born at the zoo.  Beco will grow somewhere between seven and twelve feet tall and weigh from six thousand to fourteen thousand pounds.  Did you know that elephants walk on their tiptoes?  Also, as we are right-handed or left-handed; elephants favor one tusk more than the other.  The black rhino also resides with the pachyderms.  Rhinos cannot see very well, but they have an excellent sense of smell and hearing. http://kidsblogs.nationalgeographic.com/blogs/
