Summary[edit]

Description

The fence in the background surrounds the entire closure and goes up about 5 meters high to protect 3 lions.

This is the most fortified enclosure for good reasons, although it is to stop the lions from getting out, the fence serves another purpose to stop people from climbing and jumping in.

I managed to get these shoots by zooming right up close as I could and the foreground fence blended away but it can be tricky, you may notice a slight distortion on the left.
