Amur Tiger enclosure at Howletts 26/11/09

Not pretty, but plentifully-furnished.

I think it's great, so simple but really great for the cats.

Oh no, I feel the urge to start up again....

But in the interest of world peace I'll let it be.

yes, it's great for the cats.......

Good, there's been enough of that recently lol.

From my south-east England zoo weekend I've got photos from Howletts, Port Lympne, the RSCC and Colchester (among others).



Surely I can get an argument over a photo out of one of those four! Is that not petrol to the ZooChat barbeque?

Oh, I haven't started on the gorilla pictures! Damn that mesh...

I would just like to say I find these enclosures great.
Its not full of artificial concrete and fake rock it is simply Grass,Rock and Wood.
The Platforms offer the cats views across the Park something that they seem to enjoy!
The various trees give them shelter, aswell as th dense vegitation in some of the enclosure's giving them a chance to hide from the public.
They have a pool to wash and swim in.
They have tyre's and other things to play with they may not be natural but they are very hardy and the cats love them!
And the best thing for me - There is no indoor viewing when the cat wants to rest somewhere were there is an absolute zero chance of a visitor seeing them this is were they can go.
These enclosure's offer them privacy and the chance to be Tigers away from the eyes of visitors around every corner.
