I may get lynched for this, but I don't think this looks as bad as some would say. It's ugly as sin but there seems to be a lot of climbing frames and I guess the keepers keep them busy with enrichment? Obviously they need a new enclosure, but it seems as though they're doing ok in here for the time being, what do you think Maguari?
Are all three lived in? Otherwise, I think this could be improved by just making the climbing frames higher and roping the three pits together. As high-dwelling primates, they shouldn't mind the heights or climb

I would agree generally with this. However, assuming they haven't made any changes since they've been off-show, the inside areas are pretty small and dingy. Probably not too different to Blackpool's, though.
I wouldn't say that this was the worst orang enclosure I've seen (Rostock and Barcelona spring to mind) but it's clearly not ideal.
The part of the enclosure in this photo is the 'separation' one - you can just see part of the two joined-up ones at right of frame.
