The flying fox are Indian and Rodrigues, the fish are Giant Gourami, Iridescent Sharks, & Tinfoil Barb, some of the other birds are Bali Mynah and Green Peafowl (hybrids/never seen either species here), and Northern White-Cheeked Gibbons, Fly River Turtles, and some other turtle species can also be seen here. I believe Prevost's Squirrels (C. p. prevostii) can also be seen in here. Directly through the trees in the back part of this exhibit is where the Malayan Tapir exhibit is (the gibbons, squirrels, and smaller birds can move between both areas).

If I remember correctly, this part of JungleWorld was seperated from the other parts, so I'm not exactly sure the gibbons can come here. Do you have anything to support that statement?

Just my memory, sorry. I remember seeing the gibbons in this last part and not the part with the Malayan Tapir. I do remember seeing signage for the gibbons in both parst however. I also remember that the signage for the Green Peafowl is in this last room but in the following picture it appears they are in the tapir exhibit (I believe those are tapir tracks in the darker sand as the ground gets steeper):

It is one big room: the squirrels, birds, bats and gibbons can be anywhere.
JungleWorld consists of six separated areas (well seven if you count the treasures gallery). The final and largest appears to be two but is not.
