This is one of the best photos I've seen for the African wild dog exhibit at the London Zoo, as it appears to be a tricky enclosure to get into a photograph. I wonder how many vehicles go by on the road directly next to the habitat, and whether the traffic is noisy for the dogs.

Snowleopard, it's not a road, it's a canal! I think there is a photo in the gallery of the Wild Dogs inspecting the passing boat
I feel this is a very good Wild Dog enclosure for a bachelor group and London are even extending it further (replacing the neighbouring Red River Hog enclosure)
Thanks Jimmy, as I now remember seeing the photo of the passing boat in another ZooChat image. I agree with you in that this does appear to be an above average African wild dog exhibit, with a varied terrain and lots of vantage points for the dogs.
Size of the enclosure: You can see the width of that in this photo, and the whole length of it is approx 70 metres.
The Red River Hogs had been moved to the Lion Terraces section by this time, so their enclosure will be added soon to the Hunting Dog exhibit ... it will be approx 100 meter at full length ...
