Zoo Tiger Passageway in Philadelphia [PHOTOS]: Travel Philadelphia Zoo, see Lions and Tigers Roaming the Grounds through “Big Cat Crossing”

A visitor name from Philadelphia named Johanna Dinardo said in an interview, "It's really cool to see them walking above you. You almost feel like you're in the wild with them." Dinardo was able to watch the Amur tigers in the zoo named Wiz and Dmitri cross over the zoo tiger passageway in Philadelphia and the pedestrian walkway

According to Ed Hansen, CEO of the American Association of Zoo Keepers, animal rotation has become more popular as "the public challenges zoos to improve." The O Line at the National Zoo in Washington even lets orangutans travel between enclosures by swinging from cables high above the property. At the Denver Zoo, keepers have also managed to rotate lions, African wild dogs and hyenas through a habitat.

Hansen said that the zoo tiger passageway in Philadelphia allows them "to replicate the natural environment as best as we can. It's enriching to their environment and their mental capacity."

The zoo tiger passageway in Philadelphia has reportedly meshed the two concepts of travel and timeshare. Lions, tigers, pumas, jaguars and leopards already reportedly rotate among five exhibits. Now, these animals will be able to take turns using Big Cat Crossing, the zoo tiger passageway in Philadelphia.

According to the Associated Press, the zoo is planning to extend and connect all three trails, but species will use them separately. Baker added that hooved animals such as rhinos and giraffes will also get to travel.

Zoo tiger passageway in Philadelphia may not have come from an entirely new concept, but the experience that visitors will get to see is priceless.
