is the area to the left with all the plants also for some sort of animal? There appears to be a visitor path leading through it, so resembles a walk-through aviary or somesuch (although it probably isn't).
On another note, how good are clouded leopards at hiding!?? I can't even see one. Such magnificence of camouflage, proving that this enclosure verily does suit them most excellently.

The area to the left is a glass viewing panel. The chain-link gate is keeper access to the exhibit.
On another note, this just opened yesterday. There will probably be some trial and error plantings to see what works and can be transplanted to and from the greenhouse when these animals bundle up inside for the winter. Considering the amount of work done in this area, specifically, the grading and utilities that were addressed and taken care of, not bad. They also have revamped the giraffe/zebra area and the new grill. The Islands is a loop for now, once they continue further up the hill things will change with more tropical asian animals and a larger building. Freeing up space in the tropic building moving the asian animals. Where the bear pits are, the Asian Cats and other Asian Montane species will move in. This frees up the areas those cats already use for more African or other projects.
