The Memphis Zoo has an excellent set of habitats for their cats, and there are 10 species in this section of the zoo. Not many other zoos have such a varied collection of big cats in such impressive habitats, and it was interesting to see the natural prey of some of the felines in enclosures across from the predators.
Red pandas and muntjacs are directly across from the snow leopard exhibit, there are capybaras near the cougars and jaguars, and klipspringers (off exhibit when I was there) and meerkats are across from lions and cheetahs.

@BlackRhino: I love the Oklahoma City Zoo for many reasons, and one of them is the excellent cat complex. It is one of the best of its kind, and edges out Memphis due to the more naturalistic habitats. Some zoo visitors don't enjoy the fact that they can be disappointed at not locating hidden animals, but it is a joy to search out the inhabitants in well-designed exhibits.
