Blackpool Zoo opens new £1.5m big cat habitat

A brand new big cat habitat has opened at Blackpool Zoo in Lancashire, UK.






A brand new big cat habitat has opened at Blackpool Zoo in Lancashire, UK.

The habitat has been designed to encourage natural behaviour and will enable the zoo to provide the best care for its big cat population, which includes several lions and tigers.

The result of a £1.5m (US$1.9m, €1.75m) investment, the habitat consists of a large outdoor area equipped with mock rocks, multi-level log platforms and several sunbathing and relaxation spaces.

It also features two large indoor spaces with heated rocks and extended viewing windows, as well as a new CCTV surveillance system that enables keepers and conservationists to monitor the animals and study their behaviour.

“We continually strive to improve our facilities for our animals and this significant investment is the latest in a long line of projects that demonstrate our commitment to excellence,” said Darren Webster, director of Blackpool Zoo.
