What's wrong with it? I can potentially see the problem if it stops the animals being able to use large patches of their enclosure, but this hotgrass is the exhibit's "fence"; if it were not there, the okapi would escape! And, sorry to sound like reduakari but, surely it's better to have this unobtrusive barrier than ugly chain-link?
You may be right right. But either way, the hotgrass acts as a barrier around the edge of the exhibit - there is not likely to be many plants in the moat (it's out of visitor site) so the animals must be encouraged to stay out of it for either their own safety, or for the visitors' making the hotgrass the enclosures actual boundary. So what, I ask, is wrong with it?
If it's only a barrier to keep them from the moat then I don't mind it, I think Zambar's problem is that it's trying to look like grass and failing lol.

If you had just emerged from the fallen tree and seen the okapi for the first time through the vegetation, I doubt you would notice the hotgrass. Especially if you were an average zoo-goer who was not so suspicious of such things.
