That really sounds interesting. I hope they can add on some primates to the savannah exhibit though (colobus and/or patas) and perhaps baboons.

The Philippine area is absolutely magnificent. It is nice to learn that quite a few zoos are now moving into the biodiversity hotspot Philippines fauna and welcome if that includes an in situ component too ...!!!
