      Is this at the zoo or the Tierpark?
    • Zebraduiker
      That's the zoo, there are no apes left at the Tierpark. The old ape house there is now used for sun bears.

      Then how the hell did I miss that?!
      Where abouts is this? I remember seeing the Gorillas outside enclosure, it was an island on a lake which was near the elephants. Is this mesh exhibit new?

      Oh, so you have seen just the gorilla exhibit for the old , non-breeding females, which are now almost 50 years old.

      Yes, the mesh chimp exhibit is brand new, it was not yet used by the chimps during my visit.

      I don't know why you missed it, because its on the way to the entrance of the ape and monkey house.

      Ah yes I think I did see it, just threw me a bit because I never saw the Gorillas in that exhibit. I found that building confusing though, due to the amount of apes in one building and all the enclosures being close together lol.
