"I believe there is also a moat."

Unfilled, which defeats the purpose.

I don't think so - tigers love the water. An unfilled moat might be more effective in deterring a tiger.

A filled moat makes it more difficult to jump. To experiment, get in a swimming pool and see how far you can leap relative to what you could do on solid ground.

The animal can't get leverage to jump from the water.
