@JigerofLemuria It’s actually seperate, though in very close proximity to the new tiger complex (the orange poles can be seen in the background to the far right). The old tiger exhibit (2006) now houses Ring-tailed lemur - which are a poor fit for this well shaded exhibit. This exhibit used to be linked to the old tiger pit (built 1922). This was demolished with the new tiger complex built where it used to be.
@Zoofan15 Gotcha. Maybe another primate species (or even a small cat or another jungle carnivore, fingers crossed) would be a better fit. Either that or a big multispecies Southeast Asian or South American aviary (good way for the zoo to have macaws and/or fruit bats again).
@JigerofLemuria I’d really like to see Sri Lankan leopard in this exhibit. It was designed to house the zoo’s male Sumatran tiger and in the later years held the female tiger and their adult son. While it’s not a particularly large exhibit, it’d be fine for male leopard - which interestingly enough would be throwback to when rows of big cats - including leopards were kept on that site. That said, I really like your fruit bat idea!
@Zoofan15 Oh yes, it could work well for a single leopard, or even a pair of clouded leopards! I'm sure a European or Australian zoo would be happy to provide.
@JigerofLemuria Clouded leopard are actually an even better idea than Sri Lankan leopard. Aside from the fact a pair of Clouded leopard would take up less space, they’re a South East Asian species - so it’d be a nice link to the Sumatran tigers in the adjacent exhibit.
