      This seems quite small?
    • Ituri
      This is not the best angle of it to judge, but having seen it in person, it's certainly not overly spacious.

      I would agree with @Ituri, this exhibit is by no means large, but it was fairly adequate for the Warty Pigs that lived here. It's also worth noting that the pigs have since been replaced by a pair of Crested Porcupines.

      Cape Crested (Hystrix africaeaustralis) I presume?
    • Dhole dude
      @Ituri African Crested Porcupine (Hystrix cristata) actually. Indian Crested Porcupines used to be exhibited across from the Tapirs until a decade or two ago, when they then became ambassador animals. sometime between then and now they switched to African Crested.

      Correction, they actually are Cape Porcupines, not African Crested.

      @Dhole dude The name "African Crested Porcupine" can refer to either species unfortunately.
