I recently built a really pretty lion-habitat using a custom fence I built. the custom fence was made out of wood, so it counts as climbable. To counter this, I placed a metal fence, which I made unclimbable, inside the custom fence. The lions just walk (WALK! They don't even climb, they WALK) RIGHT through both the metal barrier and the custom fence. I mean, I kinda get it, it's climbing on the blue fence outside, but that shouldn't be possible since there's a METAL BARRIER in the way. Please give me some tips on what I can do to save this habitat because I really don't want to remove it.
Animals WALKING through unclimbable barrior

This has been a recurrent problem since launch I believe. There is no real workaround for this. You'll just have to replace that wood for some other non-climbable material, otherwise your lions will still clip through the barrier. I feel your frustration as I've experienced the same a couple of times before.
I wonder if this will be fixed in the future.

I managed to "fix" it. The lions don't climb out at all and they never attempt to either. The game still states that they can escape by climbing, but that seems to be incorrect as they never actually do.
Adding some more space between the fence and wooden structures might be a possible solution.
Or the opposite placing the fence "inside" the wooden structure so the fence is only visible in the open (window) parts and perhaps on top for the unclimbable parts.
(if your pathing allows that)
Also, keep in mind certain animals need stronger fences so they can't destroy it and escape, although this isn't the case when looking at the images.
Another thing to keep in mind, since the metal fence is climbable they will still try to climb it until they reach the unclimbable part. Animation for certain animals tend to act a bit weird because of their "oversized" bounding boxes.
Be creative, test things out, it's only a game when they escape only your pride is hurt.
