Do you happen to know how they manage the exhibit? It must be a nightmare trying to keep it 'clean' ( isn't that part of the issue with having natural elements in exhibits? ).

( Side note: Whoo, my first comment on this site! ^^; )
 
There are two jaguars (male and female) and they are rotated on exhibit. There are some glass cleaners that must work overtime, as the only way to see a jaguar in this awesome exhibit is through glass.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm afraid I wasn't very clear. I was actually referring to the plants in the exhibit. Do you know how they keep them under control ( assuming they need to do anything )? It looks like quite a daunting task.
 
The jaguars have actually recently been introduced to each other, so I think they are on exhibit together now

Thank you! :D This site is pretty cool! Although I'm kind of disappointed that I don't think we can add images to our "favorites" or anything like that. That would be a great feature! ( Unless there is one and I just can't find it? )

Welcome!

Actually cleaning any exhibit is a daily keeper task.
Pruning and weeding are done less often in most exhibits: sometimes by the keepers and sometimes by the horticulture staff.

WPZ has a particularly good horticulture staff

Is it a "nightmare"? Not if there are sufficient staff

Oh, I see! Thanks a lot for the information! I appreciate it!
 
Jaguar Cove must be the exhibit with the most pictures on this forum and that emphasizes the outstanding design an planting of this exhibit!
