My question: is it still used for Tapirs? If so, Brazilian or Malayan? I did not see any sign of life in the exhibit the whole time, but maybe the tapir was sleeping somewhere in a corner not visible from the viewing area.
saw a tapir in here in october but might not be there anymore because one of the female tapirs might be goin to toronto, not sure if its the one here or jungleworld. And it has malyans.

Interesting to know that this was built for Sumatran Rhinoceros. I have come to realise now that again I have mixed up exhibits and will fix this straight away. There is another photo which shows a Babirusa sign but that would then probably just be the side of this one.

Zooplantman, thank you for this link! I had of course heard of Joe but didn't quite realise until I saw his website what a number of high-profile exhibits he has been involved with. I'll be looking better through his site this weekend.
Baldur, if you've never before been aware of Jon then you are in for a treat. If David Hancocks helped reinvent exhibit design, then Jon was his chief partner in the process. I believe that most if not all zoo designers today acknowledge a debt to Jon Coe and his colleagues at Jones + Jones
