Yeah, this is when Amy was with the original male (I've forgotten his name) and they were the only orangs at Monkey World.

Did they ever have problems with escapes due to the hotwire? Seems a bit risky using it as a primary barrier contain them.

Amy & Bangii 'seemed' to be contained perfectly well with just this hotwire fence. I wondered why they didn't do it again with the larger existing enclosure- maybe they had problems I don't know about...

Their current enclosure had chimps before, which of course need much stronger fencing. I guess it would've been to much of a financial draw to start over.
