Asian Forest Sanctuary - Broadleaf Forest

August 2009. Sumatran tigers, white-cheeked gibbons, siamangs, lowland anoas, small-clawed otters, malayan tapirs and crested porcupines rotate through a series of 5 exhibits. There are some mixed-species habitats, and zoo visitors never truly know what animal will be in each exhibit whenever they pass through the Asian Forest Sanctuary.

      I saw one siamang and a lowland anoa in this exhibit, but at any time there could have been 5 other potential species in the enclosure instead of the siamang/anoa combination. Of the 5 exhibits that rotate animals at this zoo, 3 of them are netted and with climbing devices. That means they can hold any type of animal, from carnivore to primate.
    There are no comments to display.
