New tortoise enclosure

What a great series of photos! It must have been a warm day, I can't remember the last time I saw the spider monkeys out.
Is this the enclosure at the top of monkey tails that once held otters?

Ta very much. When we got to the spider monkeys the keepers were scattering food around the enclosure. They then opened the doors to the spider monkey and gelada baboon enclosures simultaneously and we watched them all rush out through the tunnels on both sides.

Yes, the enclosure above is part of what used to be for the otters in Monkey Tails, though I'm not sure what will happen to the rest of it.

Water level has been raised and pool is now full of Koi carp.
However, this may be a temporary move while they repair the smaller lower pools.

I thought Monkey Tails was supposed to be South-American rainforest themed, but it currently houses;

Goeldi's monkeys
White-faced Saki
Red titi monkeys
African spurred tortoises
Hermann’s tortoises
Koi carp
White-throated monitor lizards
Meerkats

Not a complaint, just an observation.
