I've visited this zoo twice since the Asian Sanctuary opened (and should be going for the 3rd time in the next couple of weeks) and I think that the idea of a rotational set of exhibits is brilliant for enrichment purposes. However, the enclosures in this area of the zoo are for the most part rudimentary at best and average zoo exhibits. Only one habitat (with a large pool and usually for the sumatran tigers) is excellent.
 
Yes the keeper I spoke with said that the tigers get very excited after the anoas and tapirs have been in this exhibit!
