I wasn't having this issue when playing last night, but when I logged onto the game this evening, animals just started walking through my steel mesh barrier. It is evidently a walkable escape point, and I'm not clear why. Is it because my mechanics are suddenly refusing to do maintenance? I'm not getting any alerts that the barrier is damaged, and the barrier appear to be intact and undamaged. I've not used steel mesh much, but it says it is level 4.
Why is this a walkable escape point?

Oh wow, that's really strange! Did they change anything with traversable areas? I had been giving a break for a while.
I think it's standard two meters. No way they can jump that high.. Plus that would have a different sign wouldn't it?
Had the same Problem once. Replacing it with a different kind of Barrier and then replacing that one with the previous one should work.
Giraffes, zebras and elephants were all just walking through that patch of barrier. It was the same height as the rest of the barrier and above the minimum height for all three species. I did raise it a bit, and that seemed to fix the issue, so it's a head scratcher. For some reason the game saw the barrier as lower there from the animal side than my numbers said.
What I don't know is why it was fine the day before, with no escapes, but when I logged on to play the next evening I got multiple escapes within the first minute of play. This seems to happen to me sometimes with escapes, though. The game will be fine for hours, but I'll suddenly get a bunch happening one after the other when nothing appears to have changed in game.
Come to think of it, it's not unlike what happens with work zones where everything is balanced and all my animals are getting fed and cleaned out, so I can focus on something else in the game. Until suddenly all my keepers apparently go on strike or something

This could also happen before. I assume it's so rare that not enough People reported it
