[FEL-L] Re: Felines-L Digest, Vol 14, Issue 8

Is clear polycarbonate an option to be an invisible fence?

The Apple Valley Mn Minnesota State Zoo has some interesting overlooks out into the pen that are up on posts to keep the viewer at a distance from the Siberian tigers. They also have telescopes mounted on the overlooks to see the tigers at a distance.
