View of the Mandrill House

Is the little bunker-style house their only shelter if it rains ?(as I believe it does a lot in the Lake District). Or is there an outdoors shelter as well?

Nope this well designed and very tall building is the only indoors,that they have for them.In case you were wondering this house was first built to house Cheetahs,hence the great height of the building!
 
Moreover, the path goes round all sides of that building, so it really *is* as expansive in area as it seems ;)
 
For all your carping about the wildlife park it still beats the zoos where you can't get as close to the animals-which, by the way, are all very happy. I go every week & i've never seen any animal in distress at either its housing or outdoor area.

This has nothing to do with South Lakes but I don't know how you can tell if an animal is happy or not with its surroundings. I have never been able to. They may 'look' happy to your mind, but do they even experience 'happiness?'

If you can't tell the difference between a happy or unhappy animal your not looking properly. It's so easy to spot that a child can do it. One give away is their eyes, as for the rest i'll leave you to discover them by watching animals carefully

I think you're preaching to the wrong audience here when it comes to watching animals ;) and as for being able to get close to animals equalling a better zoo, try saying that when you're 2 feet from a tiger with no barriers between you!
