LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Potter Park Zoo's newest exhibit is a moose habitat.
The Lansing State Journal reports (http://on.lsj.com/2aacLGH ) the exhibit made its debut in June. It is home for Willow and Meeko, who were previously housed in another exhibit.
The exhibit at the zoo in Lansing features a large, deep pond and a barn for shade. The moose can be separated into two sides of the exhibit, if needed.
Willow and Meeko were both Alaskan moose calves born in the wild but separated from their mothers. Acquiring the moose and building the new exhibit cost $750,000. The moose, about 100 pounds when they arrived at the zoo, now both exceed 800 pounds.
