Abstract

Barrier design for animal enclosures in zoo was once an obvious thing with cages and heavy grills but today barrier is preferred to be so designed as not to create any barrier in viewing. The kind of species in enclosure and its natural behavior decides the type of barrier. Panthera is a genus within the Felidae Family which includes spotted cats. It include species like lion, tiger, jaguar and leopard. Cat family species in a zoo are considered as most dangerous, strong and quick responding carnivore. These facts make the barrier design to consider specific characters like jumping distances – vertical and horizontal, and the run up needed for the same. The paper is an effort to evolve design solutions for viewing area barriers for Panthera Specie’s enclosures in planning a Bio Park at Aurangabad, as the existing Zoo is going to be relocated. This effort is made by studying available literature, analyzing relevant case studies within India with similar conditions and considering the inferences while evolving design solutions.
