Discovered travelling menageries are quite a recent phenomenon, only 200 years or so ago. Menageries, of course, go back a bit further. So one wonders, why no one thought of it earlier? What factors prevented there development.
See, main characters says he saw a caged tiger in a travelling menagerie when he was a kid. So if he didn't, how did he see one? There might have been one attached to the palace, but that complicates things (what happened to it? if it's still there, it needs to be visited etc, and what sort of animals does it have etc).
It could be interesting to write in though
