The Future
The "Safari Africa" region will be located to the north and east of the zoo land as it sits today. The area will encompass 70 acres (280,000 m2) of land, and will feature many African plains animals. On exihibit in the new region will be lions, zebras, and giraffes, which were moved in order to accommodate Asia Quest. Cheetahs, meerkats, and monkeys will also be included in the new region. Following the design of recent exhibits such as the Islands of Southeast Asia, the African savanna will attempt to merge habitats and scenery to make visitors feel as if they are on the plains. Other features will include a zipline ride, a camel ride, as well as dining facilities. Plans call for a 2014 opening.

Famous quotes containing the words the future and/or future:
“A friend is Janus-faced: he looks to the past and the future. He is the child of all my foregoing hours, the prophet of those to come, and the harbinger of a greater friend.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Life is a series of surprises, and would not be worth taking or keeping, if it were not. God delights to isolate us every day, and hide from us the past and the future.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The moment the doctrine of the immortality is separately taught, man is already fallen. In the flowing of love, in the adoration of humility, there is no question of continuance. No inspired man ever asks this question, or condescends to these evidences. For the soul is true to itself, and the man in whom it is shed abroad cannot wander from the present, which is infinite, to a future which would be finite.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Give me insight into today and you may have the antique and future worlds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
