Orangutan exhibit

Is this exhibit fairly new?

@snowleopard : I don't know, maybe other zoochaters will help with this. The whole section with the apes is simmilar, with enclosures like this.

It opened in the summer of 2015. I visited a few weeks earlier so I didn't get to see the finished enclosure, or the orangs who were offshow at the time

It does look quite good. What did you think of it Nicola?

@FunkyGibbon : It is great; Here I would add just non-toxic living trees. Would you?

The previous orang enclosure was a tiny, boxy affair - it would be hard for any enclosure not to be a massive improvement:

@Nikola Chavkosk Almost certainly! I'd also like to see swing poles and hanging vines, but these may be present out of shot?

@FunkyGibbon : No, they were not present. From one side this outdoor exhibit is conected to a building for indoor keeping of orangutans.
