Zooplantman already said in another photo that there is more then one room for them to be in during winter and that this exhibit also has one of the best and largest indoor facilities in America for gorillas.
I've seen all indoor rooms for the gorillas, so I know what I say.
The trick of the modern outdoor exhibits is to appear bigger than they really are,the gorilla exhibits at Bronx are a good size, no question, but they are not that big as Snowleopard thinks, Detroit is bigger, to name just one example. They are good gorilla habitat, if the Zoo had indoor facillities of the same quailty, the zoo could have a really good gorilla holding in the USA, but they didn't, unfortuantely.

What the guests see is not all of the gorilla holding. Their deep tall indoor holding is not visible to Bronx Zoo visitors. Also, when are people going to learn that bigger is not always better. Just because Bronx doesn't have the largest enclosure for gorillas, (although if you add the two together it does), doesn't mean it is not the best. It is the best quality gorilla habitat, and the quality of the space determines how good an exhibit is for its inhabitants.

Another interesting photo from the Bronx Zoo, as there are zero gorillas in the frame yet a dense, thick rainforest provides a lush and green area for the almost 20 apes. The few trees and bushes that are hotwired are no deterrant for the gorillas, as Zooplantman has pointed out on numerous occasions that the apes simply pluck food from between the wires. Where does this exhibit end? Does it end, or does it simply continue for many miles into New York City?
