This excellent photo illustrates the enormous size of many of the paddocks at the Monarto Zoo. I'd hazard a guess that every single exhibit is one of the largest of its kind on the planet, as the enclosures are so huge that it can be tricky finding the animals! For the longest time the photo banner of the African lion here on ZooChat (back when it was ZooBeat) was taken at the Monarto Zoo. Many members of this website assumed that the lion was in the wild.
