This is connected to the hippo grazing area--the nyalas can choose to be in the hippo area, the hippos can't get into this part. It would be better (more accurate) if they were sitatunga, but it's still very nice.
Yes, it is.@reduakari. The zoo has a big and very successful breeding group of sitatunga in the antelope house, but the gruop it to big for that exhibit, and theyy have not the space inside the stall for so many antelopes.

I don't know if Berlin use this system, but Chester have a similar scenario with Indian Rhino and Brow-antlered deer and blackbuck. Chester use posts lodged into the ground and the gap between each post is too narrow for rhinos, but allow the deer to pass through.
