South Lakes Wild Animal Park Is South Lakes worth a visit?

[tetrapod]

I think the main reason other zoos have largely failed to follow South Lakes' approach to big cat feeding up tall poles is either due to difficulties/laziness in modifying the exhibit, or not being aware of the benefits. Although I never saw the cats utilise the poles in my one and only visit, I have always thought them to be a good idea. However like all enrichment I would not advocate feeding the cats this way every time ie. it gets boring.

I've seen (on tv) the same thing being done at one of the aspinall parks where they tied a slab of meat on the top of a tree and let the tigers clamber after it.
