You can see it's namesake tail in sticking out of the hollow. Animals of the Night at Memphis Zoo, Dec. 23 2021
Lucky! I couldn't see them at the Bright's Zoo this summer and they are right in front of you! Why are there so many mirrors? Is it for better viewing or for animal comfort?

@MonkeyBat I think it might be to make the exhibit seem larger, possible for animal stimulation as well. The whole nocturnal house is full of odd mirrors like this and I'm still puzzled by the purpose. I kind of wished I saw its whole body, but I'm grateful I at least saw its tail.
