A new $1.5 million exhibit called "Wet Side Story" opened at the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo during the first week of November. The exhibit is the only one in Israeli zoos representing aquatic habitats in Israel and around the world.
The new complex of aquaria will deal with today's pressing issues of aquatic habitats, explaining the importance of preservation of water sources and their proper use, as well as the actions of wildlife conservation in these habitats. The Hebrew name for the exhibit, translated as "The Story of a Drop", follows drop of water that falls in the in the Hula Valley in northern Israel and sets off on a worldwide journey.
