Disused enclosure(?) on South Road- 20/4/2025

I'm not sure if this was ever an enclosure. There has not been anything in there for as long as I remember. It used to have some big fake eggs in it.

@Cat-Man Thank you. I did think it looked pretty unique, with some overgrown rocky terrain and a cave in the middle.

I wonder if @Skukuza would be able to shed some light on whether or not it has ever been used for animals.

@Cat-Man sorry, fake eggs is the only thing I recall there as well. Possibly a Lego type figurine thing at some stage as well…

This is the remains of what used to be the snow leopard enclosure before Roof of the World was built in 2005. This hasn't held any animals since.

Roof of the World was a Himalayan themed area with the aforementioned snow leopards, takin and red panda. The only part of it that remains today is the older part of the current snow leopard exhibit before it was extended.

@NMM Wow thank you, that does make some sense from the nature of the enclosure; although I don't suppose that fencing was used when it held Snow Leopards...
Whereabouts was the Red panda enclosure at Roof of the World?

Where the extended part of the snow leopard exhibit is. The extension was built on what used to be the rest of Roof of the World.

@NMM I did wonder. That's good the space has gone back to being used again for the nice new Snow Leopard extension.

@NMM Excellent, thank you!

While it's good that the Snow Leopard have more space, the extension is very poor imo. Just a big empty space, completely incongruous with the (excellent) original enclosure, with terrible viewing (was that awful fencing going cheap or something - looks like it was meant to have windows?).
