As promised, here you go. The first photo is a wide angle view of the top of the coyote exhibit, which shows just how invisible the thin fencing can be. The second photo is a closeup of a section of it used on the walkway that leads down to Desert Loop Trail. The left half is the photo as taken (up close) and the right half is the center section of that photo cropped in to show detail.

Great pictures! Thanks a lot!
 
What other animals could be kept in enclosures with the coyote Invisinet fencing (shown in the amazing pictures above - I have chosen the coyote type, because there are many other types of Invisinet)?
 
At ASDM they use this netting on coyote, the new vulture and burrowing owl aviaries, and Life On The Rocks (skunk, roadrunner, etc). They also use it as a top cover in Small Cat Canyon, though these exhibits were uncovered for decades. I assume this is to keep free ranging animals out, not to keep the cats in.
 
Would it be strong and suitable enough for cougars, fishing cats, fishers, caracals, pine martens and the like.
 
For cougars absolutely not. For the others you mention, maybe I am not sure. The potential issue is them chewing through it.
