Was there yesterday with my son , before I went to Hamburg. I found it at one of the big aviary exits. It looks like an Ed Crissman carving, very much in the style of the Tikis he did at Oceanic Arts for the Tropics in Palm Springs. Nice to see it from the side, with it's Tahitian style mouth. Very decrepid though, from all the humidity. And the African Huts have been decapitated! Cut off the long peaks! You can still see their shape in the direction signs, but they are flattened now. Too much roofing maintenance, I bet!
