Gibbon Exhibit

This is the central exhibit for the region. It is an island habitat for two groups of gibbons, Siamangs and Lar. When one group is outside the other group is in the indoor exhibit. While the islands are not huge the little apes make great use of all the Islands have to offer.
I first was aware of this with mole rats in a German zoo 25 years ago. I just think it is wrong personally and l am disapointed that it is "acceptable practice".

It is wrong to keep an active species like this in this way.

I assume I see your objection, but I wonder whether it doesn't add more variety to the animals' experience? I can see an up-side for their well-being as well as the down. Is it a net gain? Don't know.
