Is there a date for the opening of the new jaguar enclosure yet? It seems to have been taking quite a long time to build! How lavish an exhibit will it be? And will it feature animals other than Jaguars in supporting exhibits?

There is still no opening date, there have been quite some problems with building it and they now have an unresolved problem with the wires including some trouble with building companies... So there is no progress in the past months.....

The enclosure will only feature 2 jaguar exhibits, which won't be very large either....
