cubs defy tree collars

July 17-18, 2012.
The zoo installed these metal collars on all the trees in a vain attempt to keep the cubs below them. As you can see, the collars are not having the desired effect.

This is a netted enclosure correct?

Yes, although at the time of my visit they had managed to squeeze through a small opening at the top, presumably where a mature tree exits the net. I did not see it, but staff had found them on top before public hours.
 
Interesting. The amount of stories where animals escape but don't leave are fairly common. I wonder what they were using to have the mesh wrap around the tree.
