Is this Great Britain's tiniest siamang cage? It probably takes the ape approximately two seconds to go from one side of its existence to the other! On a side note I see that ZooChatter "bongorob" has managed to get into quite a few recent photos uploaded on this site, and how many ZooChatters went on this trip through several small British collections? Zoogiraffe, Bongorob, Javan Rhino.......
This is only a part of the enclosure the other part is on the other side of the walk way.As for how many went on this trip it was 4 of us!You are just missing Agile Gibbon from the list of zoochatters,that attended this little break,and as for zoochatters appearing in pictures,I am trying to keep a low profile so fingers crosssed,I will not appear in to many.

It seems as if the 4 of you had a lot of fun, and thanks for pointing out the wire overhead walkway as that is a cool feature for both the siamangs and the general public.
The one thing I noticed in Thrigby and Amazona most of all is that the first glance of some enclosures leave a lot to be desired, but because of funky design and placements they are much bigger when you look at the whole thing. Several enclosures are connected like this, using tunnels or bridges to make it seem like two smaller enclosures.
Its a while since I went here and I don't remember this enclosure. Are the two sections the same size? If so, even with the connecting tunnel, it doesn't give them a lot of space. Although I liked Thrigby generally and it has a very interesting collection, some of the enclosures were on the small side, if I remember-like this one.
This looks like an add-on to the previous larger round cage since I last visited. Originally they had a series of large cylindrical cages dotted around the perimeter. From the photos, it looks as if the vegetation has matured around/over the perimter cages.
