Sloth Bear Exhibit (1 of 2 grottoes)

Did they just add the mesh? I was there in early June and it was not there.

@Gibbonsagainstgravity Perhaps a regular San Diego Zoo visitor will know the answer, but it seems that the mesh must be brand new. A curious decision.

@snowleopard @Gibbonsagainstgravity — This exhibit has been netted over for a long time now — it just hasn’t held sloth bears in that time. Until very recently this exhibit was housing surplus snow and/or Amur leopards from the Asian Leopards complex. In between your two visits tracks with what I’ve observed on my monthly visits.

Reminds me of Toledo’s Tiger Terrace or Cincinnati’s former bear hill.
