Great Zoos of the United States - A Photo Thread

The Tiger exhibit at Memphis Zoo is probably very typical in new-age zoo design, in that it spent the extra time to
not just spray concrete onto forms to make faux rocks, but to recreate in doing so, a feeling of a crumbling, hidden
temple in the jungles in which these tigers can still be found. It is really neat, with lots of clean water which the tigers love.
These tigers can be awfully sedentary in the hot summer here, although I think they are very active at night, so they
do like to rest.
