What did they ever do with the old kickass mural that used to go around the top of the enclosed structure of the cage?

Looks like an awful existence for a Tiger.

That's the track stadium. I think that's for pole vaulting.

I was thinking that the pic must be warped. Or maybe they scaled-back the levees about 1000x since then?

That's really damn cool IMO. Looks like you could just jump into the cage. Some real life shite there.

It could also be a "photo-of-a-photo" where the edge of the original is slightly bent forward. Done to make it digital

Looks like most tiger (and other big cat) zoo habitats during that time and for many years -- actually for many zoos into the 80s.

I think so as well. The cage probably got turned around the other way on a rebuild.

That was probably the practice field during those times.

That picture looks like it was taken from Tiger Stadium looking back over mike's habitat back to the north.
