Another shot of this exhibit showing all 7 residents - three female Tur and their three 7 month old kids and one female Barbary Sheep.
 
This is an incredibly fascinating exhibit, with well-worn pathways on the vertical terrain. Is there a shelter somewhere...or perhaps a hoofstock house of some kind? Would any buildings be hidden from public view?
 
@snowleopard: There's indoor accommodation next to the viewing area. The use of existing landforms is effective and it's a very pleasant corner of the zoo, but perhaps not as stunning as some of the photos suggest. Prague, for instance, has much more dramatic ungulate exhibits.
 
Very impressive, a match for the magnificent markhor enclosure at HWP.
