SB Zoo - Cats of Africa
Santa Barbara, CA
2003
This new home for Lions at the Zoo contains both a large African lion exhibit as
well as an African Black-Footed Cat exhibit. Set into a hillside, visitors gaze from
the visitor's platform into new animal habitats combining trees, rocks, a water feature,
African grasses, as well as views to the adjacent Pacific Ocean. Strategically located
pride rocks provide opportunities for both close encounters and longer-range views
of these majestic animals. Holding and animal care areas located under the visitor
deck provide state-of-the art keeper facilities. Dramatic enclosure mesh and support
masts are organized to minimize the perception of the enclosure and add to the lively
and fun exhibit environment.
