Cheyenne Mountain Zoo 2010 - Cages outside the old Monkey Pavilion

September 2010

Cages outside the old Monkey Pavilion.

Does anyone know what the zoo plans to do with this structure? It appears to have been built in 1942 and is obviously past its due date but the zoo has let it stand for over 70 years and I'm not sure what its future holds. The species list on my visit in 2010 included: Ring-Tailed Lemur, Black-and White Ruffed Lemur, Black Howler Monkey, Black Mangabey, Coati, Geoffrey’s Marmoset, Goeldi’s Monkey, Syke’s Guenon, Hoffman’s Two-Toed Sloth, Lar Gibbon and White-Cheeked Gibbon.

It is now demolished but there were no plans revealed on what to do with it.
