Jungle Trails: Africa: I don't think anyone is sure but this could be a rotating exhibit of Angolan colobi, Diana monkeys, and the sifakas.

For the past few years the zoo has reserved this as the summer home for the sifakas and a home for the colobus during the colder months. This summer however, I don't believe the sifakas were outside once and the colobus remained on exhibit here.

Do they have indoor viewing of the sifakas, or can you only see them if they are in their outside exhibit here?

They can be viewed indoors as well in an exhibit that's about the same size as the outdoor one. I much prefer to see them outside though for photography purposes. While typically they do/did rotate the two primates in the outdoor cage they will never display the colobus indoors.

The sifakas were allowed outside at least a handful of times this summer. I saw them once, personally, and I heard over the radio that they were outside on a couple other occasions.
