@ okapikpr - The upper yard above the South America exhibit was too small to house a large cat like a jaguar - although its possible. I only remember Crested Porcupine above the SA exhibit, Marabou Storks in the moat and Rhea and Anteater in the exhibit, pudu might have been in there also. I dont recall the last time Columbus had a jaguar, then again I wasnt as involved at the zoo when Herbivore/Carnivore existed because I was ten.

There used to be a white tiger in the yard above South America. I have a map from 2001 which shows the white tiger. I know I also have some photos from that trip, which I will look for.

I added a photo of the 2001 Columbus Zoo map to the Columbus Gallery

Here is the story of the polar bear stance at the Milwaukee County Zoo. At present, unfortunately only in German.
