Put some netting over the top, add climbing opportunities, add a more naturalistic feel, and maybe even some glass viewing (optional but a nice touch) and you could make this into a pretty decent enclosure for a Canada Lynx or Indochinese Clouded Leopard or something of similar size.

I agree. Honestly, this entire half of the building is outdated and I'm not sure if I'd rather see these enclosures renovated or demolished. They could expand the size by consolidating the four into two. They're only a holding facility for tigers and sun bears, only having one of each, so that would give the smaller animals a decent amount of space.

I haven't seen any shots of this or the bear enclosure with animals actually in them but if they're as small as they seem here, I'd say the best solution would be to connect the four enclosures into two at least, and then do some major renovations on them. Or like I said, make them for smaller species. The gibbon enclosure, while not naturalistic, looks fine enough for a primate. The Snow Leopard enclosure looks the smallest and is perhaps best for a species such a Binturong. The tiger enclosure, as said, could be good for Clouded Leopards. Not sure about the Sun Bear enclosure. Could be netted over and used for a large bird of prey perhaps.
Of course, the indoor portions of these enclosures are entirely different beasts in themselves...
