I was doing a little experimenting to see if I could make a tiger exhibit with a guest tunnel going through, turns out its definitely possible. The exhibit itself is two halves essentially, but the fences aren't quite complete, there's a gap where the concrete outer boundary meets the glass panels in the tunnel and then a null barrier crossing the path so that from the keepers and tigers point of view its one big exhibit but the guests don't register that they are in an exhibit and flee with terror 
The null barriers also mean the tigers don't trigger the out of bounds message and get boxed up.

I hope to refine this in future zoos to have a smaller tiger walkway going over guests. But its nice to have proof of concept. I'd toyed with a number of designs before this one, but the tigers kept 'escaping'.
