These are on the Africa "Kilimanjaro Expedition":
The "Harambe Wildlife Reserve" is both a real reserve and a Disney ride -- it's sort of like the Jungle Boats, but it's got real animals in a pretty well-laid-out park with "enclosures" that are so well designed it's kinda hard to see the barriers between them in some cases, and so natural they managed to get a number of plants from Africa, like the Baobab tree (which Barb thinks may have been fake, but I think were too irregular and they didn't have any leaves in mid-November, like a real tree, but how would they have transplanted trees that large?).

It's doing what a zoo is meant to do (what haters of zoos don't seem to realize zoos do). But if they had only listened to the scientists rather than the aesthetics of the land, it would have all worked out better.
When I think of how much harm has been done to so many places without ANYTHING being given back (and that's across the whole country), at least there's some good coming out of this one.
Even Sea World, for all the bad rap IT gets, has done lovely things for manatees!
