Tropical America July 1, 2009

'Tropical America' -- Rhode Island's rainforest -- features a canopy sky-walk and a lush, rainforest atmosphere complete with free-flying birds and several species of primates. Stay on solid ground or climb a spiral staircase and cross a wood and rope bridge where you can come eye-to-eye with treetop dwelling birds. You can also see a number of endangered primates like the golden lion tamarin (their coloring and faces makes them look like little lions), white-faced sakis and cotton-top tamarins. 'Tropical America' also features the creepy, crawly and misunderstood -- a colony of Jamaican fruit bats and an Emerald tree boa.
