Hi All,
In the early 1980ās, I had the good fortune of being chosen to help set up the exhibits in Jungle World, a new Bronx Zoo building highlighting Southeast Asian wildlife. Leaf Insects, Sunbirds, Marsh Crocodiles, Giant Soft-shell Turtles, Proboscis Monkeys, Tapirsā¦all came under my care, but it was a mangrove marsh exhibit that became my favorite. It housed a variety of unique animals, including Mudskippers, Fiddler Crabs and Monos, but the real stars were a school of Banded Archerfish (Toxotes jaculatrix). Visitors especially enjoyed watching me service the exhibitā¦the Archerfishes would invariably squirt water at the movement of my eyes as I looked down at them, and they never missed!
