Jardin Animalier 2005 - Big cat cages

May 2005

This odd royal menagerie is owned by Albert II the Prince of Monaco. They have done some renovation but space is awfully limited as the zoo is practically built on a rock ledge overlooking the yacht harbour.

Big cat cages.

So one of the richest parts of the world contains one of the worst zoos? Sheesh.

True, Snowleopard, you did spot a certain irony here!

It needn't be. Move out the tiger, leopard, hippo, camel and lechwe, and focus on small mammals, reptiles and birds and it could be a decent little place. It has a setting that only Taronga can rival!

I agree entirely! Could be a really interesting small zoo given some thought and imagination.

what cats live here?

From looking at the pictures in the gallery at the time this photo was taken it looks like there was a white tiger and a leopard.
