Jaguar Cove & Tropical Rainforest Exhibit

Woodland Park Zoo
Seattle, Washington

The 4,000 square foot Jaguar exhibit enclosure features a dense simulated tropical forest along a stream edge. Visitors enter the exhibit through the 28-foot-high archway joined by a fallen ceiba trunk. Moving along the length of this fallen tree, the visitor looks into the enclosure, separated from the powerful cats only by a continuous sheet of glass that spans from sandy beach floor to the log above. At the far end both visitors and jaguars occupy ledges within a cave, creating a rare “up close” experience with an incredible animal.
