A view into a small part of the lion enclosure in Givskud Zoo, Denmark. Givskud Zoo is also a safaripark and this is one of the drive-through enclosures. This one features a large group of lions The enclosure itself is a huge patch of fenced-in Danish woodland in which the lions have a prime habitat.
The lion enclosure is the oldest exhibit in the park. When Givskud Zoo originally opened 40 years ago it was simply known as the Lionpark and had nothing else.

Now this is a lion habitat!!! Green grass instead of grey slabs of concrete, and loads of SPACE. What a concept, and brilliantly outlined here in Denmark.
 
It is also Givskud Zoo's main attraction and the zoo's full name is actually "The Lionpark - Givskud Zoo". The enclosure for lions is fantastic even though they rarely use the whole exhibit due to its size. They mostly sleep together in one end of the exhibit (though not always the same), just like lions would in the wild. But a single lion will occasionally patrol through the whole length of the exhibit and those moments make all the space given worth it :)
