Could this start a trend? San Diego already opened a lion interpretative area in Elephant Odyssey last year, and now Oregon has followed suit and designed a small area where a lion can be separated from the main enclosure and thus seen up close and personal. I'm guessing that this will be a packed area once the keeper talks begin.
No, this does not start a trend, it picks up one that has already started. Interactive areas like this have been showing up everywhere from Tiger Mountain to Polar Bear Plunge
