There was a report from a retired Zoo-keeper from that zoo....said that he and a co-worker discovered a tiger walking on the top fence...thay shouted at it and the tiger jumped back.
He said they filled the moat to 4 ft depth.
Some years later the tiger died of natural causes and the Zoo got some new tigers.....as they were young the moat was drained....but never re-filled.
Question: When is a moat not a moat, but a ditch?
When there is no water in the ditch.
I wish they would stop calling it a moat.
I heard that there was never any water in the “moat”.
