Primate Panorama - Gorilla Exhibit

A very extensive series of primate exhibits!
This gorilla outdoor yard is an acre in size, and it features some lush vegetation. However, I have no idea if some of the bushes and trees are extensively hotwired.
 
I saw no evidence of hotwiring in this exhibit, or the smaller Orangutan exhibit adjacent.
 
This looks very promising. So do the gorillas use the trees and ropes ect that we all insist they should have?
 
They were completely ignoring the greenery.

I thought that may be the case. Often a result of inapropriate early socialisation.
 
I have never seen the male in the family group and the two other males in the bachelor group climb the trees but the females and younger ones do quite a lot early in the morning or just before closing time. Other wise the Orangs are the only one that do.
