Jaguar on the Mundo Maya level. It is out in the morning and the Ocelot in the afternoon.
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.
