What the Hell?! I just came across this photo for the first time (while looking in the Stats section - and like others I thought it was a reptile tank). I am absolutely staggered that a cell like this exists here. Its just a little box with fake rocks, a painted sky and a glass front! This is in my opinion far worse than almost any cat cage I've seen in Asian zoos (bar the Angkor Zoo leopard cage of course ) given that this is an American zoo with money, knowledge, etc etc.
Even for small cats (the Pallas' cats that now live there) this is a totally inadequate cage!
While I don't like this exhibit any better than the rest of you, he/she (I'm not sure) is only in the exhibit during warm months and spends the rest of the season outside in an exhibit not much better.
The Pallas Cats live there when the Leopard does not (colder months). The Pallas cats are presently over by the bat eared fox and the leopard inside due to the weather recently.
