Melissa Kirkwood tells KMAN, however, those visiting should be prepared that construction of the new Asian exhibit area is ongoing.

Kirkwood tells KMAN that one of the advantages of the zoo’s setup is that it can remain open while construction is ongoing.

Sloth bears that will be part of Expedition Asia were are undergoing familiarization with trainers after being brought to the zoo from Idaho Falls.

The new display area is set to be unveiled early this fall. Daily hours at Sunset Zoo are 9:30 to 5:00 each day.
