In what must be one of, if not the largest hyrax enclosure in the world, the former macaque rock exhibit.

They did look somewhat dwarfed by this exhibit

Would this be the large rock like exhibit behind the Sun Bears?

Klipspringer would look great in this enclosure, but there seems to be a shortage of them

Is there a large number of hyrax?

Now 6. They were rarely seen in their old enclosure which had a tunnel out to the Gelada's enclosure. I haven't seen them as much as I have since they moved to here. The agouti's that shared the opposite enclosure with the swamp wallabies for a while, are now in the old hyrax enclosure but the tunnel has been blocked off for them.
