I think there was originally an intention to keep fennec foxes and burrowing owls in here too; I certainly remember these being mentioned by a keeper when my seven-year old self asked him about Aridlands plans way back in 2001 when it was opened, and it must've been a last-minute decision as there are cut outs of the two animals in the house and on this 'circle of life'.
 
intresting dalek, thanks for sharin (did the keeper say where they would have been kept?)
