      Underwater viewing for fishing cats!

      I am trying to visualize how wide that hedge is. Could someone tall like me bend over them and get my camera close to the main viewing windows?

      This is... strange. There's underwater viewing, but its blocked by a giant hedge and fence. This whole cage is just a major head scratcher.

      @pachyderm pro It kind of reminds me of Berlin's otter exhibit. It seems quite strange, until one realizes that they are trying to preserve this cage. (For some reason).

      This exhibit is straight up odd.

      I definitely did not see any Fishing Cats in this interesting exhibit, and I think that it would be quite a stretch to lean over and be able to touch the glass.

      Here is a video of a cat using the underwater viewing to catch a fish. As you can see from people's faces reflected in the main window, glare is a problem with this design.

      That may be an issue for photography, yes, but not for viewing. My best views of a fishing cat, ever, came from this exhibit.
    There are no comments to display.
