The caracal enclosure

Copenhagen Zoo, March 1, 2009. The caracal enclosure is rather new and I would estimate the size to about 150 -200 square meters. It is nicely furnished with climbing structures etc. At a feeding talk some time ago I learned that is it difficult to use any other enrichment than food for these cats. Therefore they are fed every day. In a couple of the pictures that I upload here you might see dead white rats tied to tree branches, but you have to look closely...

It isn't the most aesthetically pleasing exhibit due to the wire, but in terms of size it appears to be okay for a cat the size of a caracal. The Copenhagen Zoo looks quite bare in winter, and this enclosure is no different.
