The World of Primates area at Audubon Zoo has an interesting mix of exhibits, as there are grassy islands, mesh habitats, netted enclosures and even open-fronted exhibits like the one in this photo. The zoo has done a terrific job at disguising some of the barriers, but overall there is nothing truly outstanding.
This area has a terrific collection in average exhibits. It actually reminds me quite a bit of the Memphis Zoo’s primate area, as in both cases the enclosures are nothing fantastic but are also more than adequate. There are 13 species here: Sumatran orangutan, gorilla, talapoin monkey (very rare!), drill (they have 3 that just recently joined the zoo), black-and-white ruffed lemur, siamang, black howler monkey, common marmoset, colobus monkey, Diana monkey, spot-nosed guenon, white-faced saki monkey and golden lion tamarin.
