OK, I stand corrected ... I only saw two and didn't realise there were others.

He seems a bit tubby. Wouldn't be suprised if it was a tapir inside him.

It seems South Lakes are just throwing in any South American animal (except for the otters) they can think of into there, without thought for how they'll get on. What next, jaguars?

When I visited a few months ago the Spider Monkey`s where still in the Monkey House,but I know it was the plan to put them in with the Bears,as far as I know they have not moved yet.

Sounds like they have worked out how to mix them without buildling a new house in the Bear enclosure for them.
