The Fort Worth Zoo’s new Museum of Living Art has postponed it’s opening. 

Instead of opening in July as planned, the exhibit won't be ready for visitors until February of 2010, zoo officials said. 

The delay is attributed to the recent hiring of two exhibit staff members who were not available to work on the project when it began. 

The $19 million indoor exhibit space will encompass 30,000-square-feetwill include a 95,000-gallon fishpond and a 15-foot crocodile.
