oh my god, this is totally not what I was expecting to see when I clicked on this photo! What a monstrosity!!
 
I really do wonder what this exhibit was actually intended for. I guarantee it wasn't maned wolves.
 
This exhibit is a lot bigger than it looks and it has some vegetation on the other side. Also, it has a glass viewing oprotunity where is slants down. This is the zoos worst exhibit.
 
It looks more like a cat enclosure, although still not very nice. Such a shame as it looks new and not cheap, and maned wolves can be kept very nicely in inexpensive and simple pens
This exhibit has been here forever and most of these exhibits in the hill were built in the 50's and 60's. You can't really tell also but more than half of those rocks are actually terraced planters.
 
This is a really bizarre enclosure for the maned wolf , hope it is only a temporary stay there.

These animals are from mostly levelled / flat habitats and do not occur in Alpine / Andean habitat types.
