And it’ll be extremely large and tall with a lot of vertical space for them to climb and exhibit all their natural behavior.” So we want to make it pretty flexible and versatile.

The pair of mountain lions’ – sisters found as abandoned orphans in South Dakota – will get a new space approximately five-times the size of their current home.
