      ...when was the last time your visited your relatives?

      this used to be the chimp enclosure. in the background you can see the artificial termite mound yoghurt-feeder that required the apes to use sticks as tools to get to the yoghurt.

      What's with the furniture-armchair, standard lamp etc here. Is it partially a rest area or something now?

      it's part of the theme the zoo set for the visitor space of the exhibit

      i.e.: when was the last time you visited your relatives? ;)

      the furniture actually does quite a good job in inviting visitors to pause for a moment and observe the animals.

      I see....:confused:

      Do the chimps still live in here?- the cages look like they are still used as they have bedding etc in them.

      There are now 2 orang utan and a pair of pileated gibbon in this row.

      I wonder if it also provides the animals with a better chance to watch us!!?
