are now exhibits of other Chinese animals, including golden takin, red pandas, Mangshan pit vipers, and an exhibit comparing several types of bamboo. There is also a feline area, featuring the critically endangered Amur leopard and snow leopards. The leopards' enclosures are located on both sides of the public walkway, and are connected with elevated climbing tunnels which arch over visitors at a height of about 20'. In addition to perfect photo opportunities, this exhibit provides stimulating enrichment for the leopards, who can be seen patrolling the tunnels and people-watching from above. Throughout the 1980s, this part of the zoo also housed the first group of snub-nosed monkeys outside of their native China. Urban Jungle The Urban Jungle houses different animals including a small herd of Masai giraffes, Soemmerring's gazelles, American flamingos, a Grant's zebra, a miniature Mediterranean donkey and cheetahs. Many of the Zoo's animal ambassadors live there including a binturongs, fennec foxes, Cape porcupines, southern three-banded armadillos, and southern ground hornbills. The giraffes living here are on what was Elephant Mesa. There is also a theater where the zoo has its "Animals in Action" show.
