Good to see they've improved the climbing facilities, hopefully a step in the right direction... Is the group still split into 2?
Finally it doesn't look so barren, Looking forward to visiting again in the summer to see the improvements for myself
It definately looks alot better than what people have been saying with plenty of climbing oppurtunities, Tywcross looks like its definately heading in the right direction. Please dont critisize me for saying this but i do actually like this enclosure i think it works very well and with some more improvements it could be very good
It is probably the best of the Ape enclosures at Twycross, however since the Bonobo group was split, they have had to rotate access to the outdoor enclosure which isn't the best situation
Thanks CZjimmy i agree that is a situation that should be if i can be sorted out soon.With a stable group of bonobos i can see this enclosure working well if perhaps more vegitation was given aswell. Twycross seems to be a working progress at the moment
You're forgetting all the other management issues that probably have a bigger affect on the animals, let alone the state of the enclosure.
Yes i am i agree that is a huge issue that could do with getting better But i wish Twycross all the best
I also felt the bonobo area was the best of the ape areas. If they are heading in the right direction - and obviously I sincerely hope they are - I wish they'd get a shift on so far as all the other apes are concerned.
So it has gone from being regarded as one of the worst enclosures all the way up to the best Ape enclosure in the zoo lets hope this is setting a trend for the future
