National Zoo - Sumatran Tiger Habitat

July 2008. An old grotto, but one that is well shaded and planted.

This old grotto is quite spacious and offers a lot of different elevation gains for the big cats. The ugly cement walls therefore serve a purpose to force the tigers to stretch their limbs in order to move higher up in the enclosure.

I agree; for an old grotto, this looks very good! Though perhaps I would coat the ledges with mock-rock so it doesn't look so... Cemented.
