BARRIER DESIGNS FOR ZOOS The Hyderabad Zoo has successfully used creepers (climbers) planted to hang over the moat wall to cover and camouflage it. Slender species of creepers can also be planted on mesh fence The Vandalur Zoo is of the opinion that the plant hedges in front of the moat do not always work as a people barrier especially in high visitation (popular animal) areas as the hedges are broken through easily by visitors. Planted vegetation buffers are highly recommended for such exhibits as a way of keeping visitors from looking over the moat wall but these buffers must be protected themselves from visitors by continuous guard rails or fencing hidden in vegetation. Specially constructed viewing shelters with laminated tempered glass have been used in conjunction with fence/wall barriers successfully for lion and tiger exhibits in zoos around the world. These viewing areas are extremely popular with visitors as they allow an uninterrupted close up view of the animals. The Lucknow Zoo is of the opinion that too muck rock work used as a rear barrier or inside the exhibit creates difficulties for weak/ill animals in climbing and returning to feeding and retiring cubicles. Due to its expense, rockwork is only recommended for creating rock perches which allow visitors to see lions more clearly as they rest in the sun. Rear walls covered with rockwork are expensive and difficult to construct in a realistic manner and so should only be used if moats and fences are unavailable as options. 20
