Gorillas enclosure - Schmutzer Primate Centre

The Kebun Binatang Ragunan (Zoo of Jakarta) has, at the center of the park, a 32 acres (13 ha) primate section called « Schmutzer Primate Centre ». One of the most impressive exhibit of this area is the western lowland gorillas enclosure. This 2 ha (5 acres !) exhibit is just a part of the tropical forest left natural, where primates have free access to the trees and lots of other natural elements to discover. The visitors can see them from a big bridge or behind a moat. Three gorillas live here (Komo, Kimi et Kumbo). They arrived in 2002 from Howletts (England).

      While there are certainly some flaws in this concept (poor to non-existent animal visibility), there is no question this is an impressive and intriguing design. For the lucky viewers who actually see gorillas, especially in the treetops, it must be very memorable.
