MERCED, Calif. (KFSN) -- Merced's Applegate Park Zoo has a colorful new exhibit you can visit up close.



A new mural was unveiled on Monday featuring animals, including a bear and a moose along with Yosemite's Half Dome in the background.

It celebrates the rich resources of the Sierra Nevada and many of the animals at the zoo.
