This is the tiger arena at Auckland Zoo (2008)... It is an original zoo enclosure (constructed 1922) and held up to two prides of lions for its first 70+ years...

This photo shows the extendable cages between the two Sumatran Tiger enclosures, female on the left and male on the right... This allows the zoo to provide both the female, Molek, and the Male, Oz, with their own territories and the animals only come together for breeding purposes in an attempt...
