Isle of the Tiger - Main Viewing Shelter Exterior

  • Media owner geomorph
  • Date added
Taken 12/9/16. This complex of 2 adjoining exhibits containing Sumatran tiger opened in 2015. Both exhibits are viewed from a main viewing shelter with windows, through fences on both sides, and through a smaller shelter with a window for the left side (larger) exhibit.
The visitor setup reminds me of the orangutan complex at the same zoo. For both the orangs and the tigers Phoenix chose to have a pair of outdoor habitats and a covered viewing shelter that allows visitors to see both exhibits at the exact same time. The major difference is that in the case of the orangutans there is actually an enclosed space containing visitors.
