Known as the \u2018Heart of Africa\u2019, this biodome will probably be the closest you can get to actually being in Africa, in England, a country with completely different weather conditions.  This 112 foot structure will be a simulation of the African Congo\u2019s rainforest habitats. Gorillas, chimpanzees, okapis, and a whole load of other birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates, enough to crowd Noah\u2019s Ark will reside in the \u2018Heart of Africa\u2019. Covering an area of 172,000 square feet, this biodome will also boast of a water ride that will ferry the visitors around and be used to show the animal enclosures. Look above and you will see a jungle canopy covering your head. The \u2018Heart of Africa\u2019 biodome will be the largest animal conservation area and attraction in Europe. <\/p>\n<p>The biodome will open its jungle doors to the public some time in 2014 and will be an experience like none other in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Heart-of-Africa2.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0110\/27\/Heart-of-Africa2.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"323\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Heart-of-Africa3.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0110\/27\/Heart-of-Africa3.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"239\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.inhabitat.com\/2010\/01\/27\/heart-of-africa-biodome-to-bring-tropical-rainforest-to-the-uk\/\">Inhabitat<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chester Zoo will now steal Africa\u2019s heart with the construction of its latest attraction, a biodome.
