Kids play on a camel sculpture in the newly reinstalled Warren J. Iliff Sculpture Garden at the Oregon
Zoo. The garden’s five popular statues, a hippo, bighorn sheep, bear and her cubs, a mouse and
camel calf, were brought back after having been in storage since construction began on the Elephant
Lands habitat in 2012.
