I believe I have written about this sometime before here at ZooChat: I remember a testimony from somewhere that when the two tigers were newly arrived at Orsa Bear Park (perhaps kept in quarantine), the female would sit for HOURS looking out through this window - fascinated by the the great outloook - miles and miles of Swedish forest and mountains.

A great argument for my belief that all zoo animals should have as big an outlook as possible from their exhibit.

Yes, I read what wou wrote a few months ago. They have an absolutely amazing view from there as the house is situated on the top of the hill. But not this day, as foggy as it was. I doubt they even saw the ground below

Yes they have climbing opportunities but no place to bath indoors.
