Yes it was actually a touch tank, there was staff there at all times though letting groups of a specific amount of people in at a time and they all had to disinfect their hands before being able to stick their hands in the tank, so it was I suppose a fairly regimented affair to go and see them. I think personally they did take pretty good precautions when it came to the tank, it wasn't a free for all so I respect that they did try their best to make it as safe as possible. As for them getting more I hope it turns out alright, I'm a huge supporter of the Calgary Zoo and have quite a few friends that work there. I personally don't 100% agree with everything that's done but I trust the fact that they will only do the best they can to educate people about animals and habitats that are being lost, or that most people may never see in their lifetime.
I personally think they do good work and don't blame them for accidents that happen or things that are out of their control, unfortunatly it happens in life. I work for the humane society and if some of you have seen what I have seen you would appreciate what the Calgary Zoo does, it's the ignorant pet owners that are the one's people should be getting upset with.
