If the intent is to capture, hold and study Pandora’s most dangerous fauna, it takes a heavily engineered containment unit to handle the task. The Wildlife Containment Unit (WCU) is exactly that piece of hardware. Built of a durable steel alloy, reinforced plexiglass, and a heavy-duty latching system, the WCU is strong enough to contain a full-grown thanator. These units are used for the transport and study of Pandora’s wildlife, with some even being used to ship creatures back across the stars to the famous Pandora Park on Earth for public display.

When Jake Sully was captured and brought to Bridgehead to face the consequences of his insurgency, a Wildlife Containment Unit was used to hold him on display for all to see. The choice to hold him in a container typically reserved for Pandora’s animals was both a practical one and a potent political propaganda statement.
