Massive exhibit with gelada baboons, rock hyrax and nubian ibex. This must surely be one of the best baboon habitats on the planet.
 
He didn't say it IS the best, he said "surely it must be", meaning "I don't know of a better one", that is a commonly used phrase in English.
 
I agree with Snowleopard...If there's a better baboon exhibit anywhere I'd like to see it.
 
I know alot of betetr abbonn exhibit, so where are the shadow places for the animals in this exhibit, wheres a pool, geladas love it to take a bath, where are climbing oppurtunties ? I know, geladas spend a lot of their time on grounds, but they like t also to climb in trees.

To less rocks for the nubian ibex....So this is certainly NOT the best baboon exhibit.

I've only seen Bronx's in this set of pictures, but I think I prefer Zurich's...
 
@Zebraduiker: I'm beginning to think that you might be right about this exhibit, as why do the baboons need all of that space? Perhaps the Bronx Zoo could load them into a steel cage and visitors could feed them with peanuts for 50 cents a bag. Then maybe all of that money raised from feeding geladas could go towards construction on a brand new "World of Darkness".:) Also, the Zurich Zoo's fairly new baboon exhibit looks extremely impressive, and could well challenge the Bronx's massive enclosure.
 
Hey, you have really good ideas.

Size dont means everything. Or do you need a 10 room flat without any furniture ?

He has a point though. I haven't seen this exhibit in person, and not sure how much this picture shows, however it seems like it's primarily a big field, like you often criticize with Gorilla exhibits.
