Bronx Zoo - Congo Gorilla Forest

July 2008.

Bronx Zoo - Congo Gorilla Forest
    • snowleopard
      Congo Gorilla Forest has several exhibits, including okapi, red river hog/mandrills, pygmy marmosets, colobus monkeys, and the two outstanding gorilla enclosures. Somewhere in the Bronx Zoo photo gallery is a photo of a map of the entire area, and I don't mind all the questions at all and in fact encourage them!

      The major outdoor areas are:
      Black and white colobus
      okapi
      mandrill/red river hog/guenon (the only mixed species outdoor exhibit)
      Gorilla #1
      Gorilla #2

      There are quite a number of indoor exhibits as well

      Snowleopard or Zooplantman, is there a particular reason why marmosets are in Congo?

      It seems a shame that there are south american animals amongst the great theming efforts of the rest of the exhibit.

      I was thinking that, seems a bit odd.

      There is a section inside where people can learn a bit about primates. They can stand next to a profile of a gorilla and really see how big he is, weigh themselves compared to a gorilla, and see the smallest primate alive, pygmy marmosets. So it's the one diversion from Africa in order to better help people grasp what primate the family is.

      It looks like heaven for the animals! But if i understand it correctly the gorilla's don't share the area with other species. That's a pity, it's such great fun seeing them mingle and play with other monkeys!

      When it opened there were DeBrazza guenons in at least one of the outdoor gorilla exhibits, and it was a blast to watch them play with the young gorillas. I don't know what happened to them after.....
