It must be nearly ready, the sign was still up today Saturday 20th) - but it had wood wool over the floor. Perhaps the last 3 old boys from the Green Mile will be moved in here.

This photo must show it all kitted out -apart from the floor material being added since. So the final move may be imminent. I also presumed it was these three- except their names are Benji, Rosi and Tuli so not so sure they are 'three old boys'? I think they may be a pair plus grownup offspring? Anyway, I hope they move in here and then get integrated with their neighbours.(eventually)

My classical education automatically makes me think that names ending in 'i' are masculine, but you may well be correct about those three chimps - I have photos which I will post soon, but they don't show the relevant details. As I have said in the current Twycross thread, I think it is a crying shame that there are now no labels giving the animals' names at the zoo.

I took a photo of one that looks female. I agree about the lack of labels (and felt the same in Chester's ROTRA the day before!).
 
From Gentle Lemur's Chimp photo on this thread, it now transpires there are still six, not three Chimps remaining in the Green Mile. Will they all be moved in here I wonder? Looking again at this photo I can see now its kitted out for new arrivals, with the brand new ropes etc. We might hear of a move this week?
