First side of the Jaguar/Ocelot exhibit.
This exhibit has been criticised for its seemingly small size and for having glass on all four sides. What I found was that its critics have just not given themselves time to read the signs or even inspect the exhibit; it is on two levels and the cat has free access to both levels, reaching the upper one via a log in the lower level. On the higher level it has both total privacy and access to fresh air. There are also some off-exhibit facilities. I for one have seen far worse all over the State of Texas and elsewhere.
