I heard of this a long time ago. When an animal is injured or sick in the zoo they need cells in areas throughout the zoo that the medical teams can have easy access to the animal without endangering themselves, and without moving the animal too far from it's normal enclosure. So, they can keep the crisis cells prepared and ready, in different areas, keeping the animal closer to it's regular surroundings and mates, while giving medical assistance, or recovery time under observation. The idea was to cause as little disturbance to the sick or injured animal, and all the others animals as well, by not drugging and moving an animal through the zoo and then after, what might be a long recovery, back again to it's enclosure. It was used for the animals that needed observation or treatment for whatever reason, physical, or behavioral. I'm not sure that this method is still being used now, it was awhile back that I heard of this on a TV program.
