Imagine: Poison dart frogs hunt insects among the leaf litter of the rainforest floor, boasting bright colors to warn off predators. A caiman hides in plain sight near a gnarled mangrove, nose and eyes barely visible above the surface of the river. Below, red-bellied piranhas school in murky waters, waiting for their next meal.
Opening summer 2026, this exhibit highlights four distinct ecoregions, including the Amazon basin’s savannah, tropical rainforests, flooded forests, and river system.
