Tapir/capybara enclosure, May 2019

Presumably this would have been demolished had the Savannah gone ahead rather than being spruced up, as is happening now.
 
It's a very basic enclosure from the 1960s. There's another yard like this on the other side of the building with a small pond, and a doorway (not visible in the photo) in the brick wall to a fairly large grassy area with a much bigger pool. The zoo hasn't been able to move any mammals for some time because of TB so is having to make the best of what it's got until it gets the all clear.
