Wow, this place really is falling apart. They saved maybe a fifty bucks by using what looks like two 6 footers instead of a 12 foot cross beam. Which they have apparently braced with a tree branch to hold it together...

I mean I am totally understanding of smaller zoos having minimal resources, and I value the added population capacity they provide. But this is just a wind storm or a slightly rotted branch away from two loose Tayras.
 
I don't believe the branch is structural :) I think it's just the vibe they went for.
 
@TNT I don't know, look at the sag and the separation occurring between the two beams in the middle. Also they braced with a fence board on the other side. Could be wrong about the branch being structural, but its falling apart either way.
 
Fantastic, rarely exhibited species...ramshackle backyard cage. :p
