Gorilla House

Does Jersey still shut the Gorillas outside during the daytime? I've never seen them have free-access inside and out. They're either shut out, or (in bad weather) kept in.

Nowadays more zoos have a free-access policy.
 
Yep they still do shut them out during the day. Ya Kwanza constantly hits the doors throughout the day because he wants to be let in though. Its kinda stupid really!

He's demonstrating the fact Gorillas prefer to be under cover/ have a roof over their heads most of the time. Silverbacks do seem even more prone to this.
