Is there more in there than just the pile of branches? Seems like they could use more furniture in there.
No, that's pretty much it at the moment; not that the dogs seem too put out about it. But some plants might be nice, eh?
Though this looks like a decent enclosure, the wooden fence (which looks sturdy!) and half lawn/half chip makes me think of a garden Patching the two and adding some plants would probably make it look more natural, but as it's a new place, I guess they've got improvement ideas somewhere up their sleeves
I disagree. This does appear rather poor and rather lets down the Yorkshire Wildlife Park (where most of the enclosures seem very good) I've said many times that I appreciate the practicality of zoo enclosures, so my opinion isn't based on aesthetics, it's that this is a very open enclosure with very little furniture. In a month or two the grass may become very long and the enclosure may change, but at the moment it seems poor. Hix: i think those sticks are hotwire
This enclosure could be put to better use for lawn bowling. I hope that the grass grows in as the months progress...
Maybe they should heighten two of the walls so they can put more furniture in here? It seems like a decent size but too empty.
Since this photo was taken the exhibit has been planted up, and has changed from Raccoon Dogs to Yellow Mongoose.
