zoologic' do I detect that you finished homework early by all the spammy posts? you need to look through galleries, not just jump on what pops up on the main page. the gates are to shift the animals. how do you not know this given by all your critique?
The gates allow animal management to run the enclosure as 1 large enclosure mixing all the species, or separate it into two good sized ones, perhaps separating elephants from hoofstock. It was very helpful the first two years as they were getting all the herds used to being with each other.
