Jungle Trails- Sumatran Orangutan exhibit

Former White-handed Gibbon and Buff-cheeked gibbon exhibit, they both used to live with the orangutan
White-handed Gibbons used to live with the orangutan, but ever since they had a baby theyve been indoors.
 
I'm not sure if the Buff-cheeked Gibbons ever shared this exhibit with orangutans. I only remember seeing them in one of the indoor enclosures (I believe they were even held in the African building for a while). I would say that the White-handed Gibbons do not currently share the exhibit with the orangutans because of the baby.

Are you sure they weren't outside? Because on the website they are and on the Zoo App, they are also shown outside. (They are two different photos)

I can't say that I ever remember them being outside until they moved to Gibbon Islands. I would say that the picture was taken since they moved to Gibbon Islands, or it's a picture from a different zoo. They often do that with some of the pictures for animal profiles on their website and app.
 
Gibbons were indeed out with the orangs when JungleTrails opened.
In 2008 one escaped from the exhibit and bit a visitor.
They had gotten out before
 
I never denied that fact, as the White-handed Gibbons were out with the Orangutans up until around the time of the incident. I was talking about the Buff-cheeked Gibbons, which I cannot remember being outdoors before they moved to the Gibbon Islands. Before they moved they were kept indoors in the African building of Jungle Trails. I had forgotten about the incident, but I do believe that the White-handed Gibbons were out some after the incident. I have photos of the gibbons out in the exhibit from the summer of 2009.
