By now you've heard of the "catio," an extensive cage built out into your yard that lets your cats experience the great outdoors while staying corraled and protected. While a catio is a big project, the Philadelphia Zoo has taken the concept to another level by constructing Zoo360, a mesh-enclosed network of walkways that allow diverse animals like monkeys and tigers to roam the zoo, safe from visitors, but able to see and be seen by visitors. Zoo360 allows the creatures to explore, exercise, and get their bearings in space, while safely being separated from humans. It's quite a sight to see, as the zoo residents pass through crowds and overhead as well. While the animals take their walks, you can stand in one place and see many different animals go by, under their own agency. That's a catio taken to extreme! -via Nag on the Lake
