      Do the enclosures remind you of the primate enclosures at San Diego Zoo's Africa Rocks? The airy angular spaces look like a similar concept from the concept drawing and the construction photos.

      What are the Species?

      @DavidBrown Yes these are similar but sort of an inverted version of the Africa Rocks. As for the elevated boardwalk for visitors, I have seen very similar elevated walkways with a large running steel support rail at the Texas Discovery Garden's Butterfly House, Fernbank Museum of Natural History's WildWoods, and California Academy of Sciences' Rainforest.

      @German Zoo World The species will be the ones currently housed in the adjoining Primate House, but I do not have a species list of them.

      Does that mean they're working on outdoor enclosures for species that don't have those yet?
    • geomorph
      @ralph yes these new enclosures will be warm weather habitats for various species that normally have indoor exhibits, and I think they will change day to day to rotate some of the species outside since there are more indoor exhibits than new outdoor habitats.

      Great. I always can appreciate when a zoo chooses to invest in improving living conditions for animal species already present instead of building enclosures for new species to draw in more visitors.
