Description
Eden's official visitor center - the grand hall, so to speak, where all incoming visitors to the park must pass through - is a most magnificent structure, three stories of glass and marble, with escalators, elevators, restaurants and shops. Built directly over-top a natural stream which runs almost the length of the reserve from east to west, the building goes on to rise along a natural slope to face the sea in the south, and the vast open reserves, where dinosaurs roam. One long passageway brings all guests into the center of the zoo, however. Raised only a few meters from the ground, it is a corridor composed almost wholly of plexiglass, down which visitors fresh on the island and just off the bus can dive right into the experience and get a close-up look at the herds of Macrauchenia, Synthetoceras, Kosmoceratops, and Presbyornis, amongst several dozens of other creatures at home on the island's verdant plains and woodland and which often gather near this very stream for a midday romp. If a leisurely pace is not to your liking, one may also book a trip directly out to tour the reserve upon one of the park's monorails - included with general admission - which come into dock directly upon the building's second floor balcony, just above. Be hasty, however - during the midday rush, seats on these elevated trains - which, if you stick through the whole thing, will go on a circuit almost thirty miles around, from one side of the reserve to the next - go fast!
Welcome to the East Yard - the term used for a small 'peninsular' region of reserve which branches off from the southwest of the 'Great Meadow Valley" and runs along the seashore, which while only third of a mile wide at its extreme still extends for 5 miles, compared to the total length of the main branch of the valley at almost 9. Located half a mile south of the Great Valley, the terrain here is smoother, low-lying and often flooded, and well-forested, and houses a number of more modestly-sized animals. While designed to permit most smaller species to move freely from paddock to paddock, like all enclosures, this one is at times partitioned off from the others with powerful hydraulic gates during times of calving or egg-laying, and at all times such large animals as Deinocheirus, mammoths, or sauropods are inhibited from entering, for this enclosure is not so strongly enforced and is butted up against a number of man-made structures which they animals might too easily damage inadvertently through merit of their size. The East Yard is home predominately to a number of medium-sized ungulates, as well as to Eden's largest ceratopsian and its large herd of Parasaurolophus - a large exception housed here due to its particularly docile nature - in addition to such animals as Dryosaurs or Onithomimus which can easily slip through barriers and migrate throughout the expansive reserve. Due to the abundance of water here, thanks to several streams and a large lake at the western edge of the exhibit, many smaller dinosaurs come to this region of the park to nest, where their young can gorge on succulent greens and abundant wetland invertebrates absent in the drier upland regions of the island.

This is cool. :)
Although these Macrauchenia still have the outdated trunks as opposed to the moose-like nostrils that we now know they actually had in reality. Just giving you a heads up! ^^
