I'd definitely need my camera zoom or binoculars to see them up close, but I love they have that huge tree to climb! And outside. Are they in the Australian section? I couldn't find them on the zoo's website.

So why is this better than--say the Bronx--since tree roos tend to climb to the high point of their exhibit and then "go koala" (i.e. fall asleep for 12+ hours)? Yes the tree is tall, but in cold weather they are brought inside, whereas indoor tropical exhibits like the Bronx simulate their natural climate and provide far closer viewing by visitors (again making the broad leap that zoos need to serve their animals AND their guests). Is feeling the first blast of cold Canadian air in September really more enriching for these humid rainforest dwellers than living in a 365 day replica of their natural habitat? Is there anything about this exhibit that even vaguely evokes New Guinea? Just asking.......
