Asian Forest Sanctuary - Broadleaf Forest

August 2009. Sumatran tigers, white-cheeked gibbons, siamangs, lowland anoas, small-clawed otters, malayan tapirs and crested porcupines rotate through a series of 5 exhibits. There are some mixed-species habitats, and zoo visitors never truly know what animal will be in each exhibit whenever they pass through the Asian Forest Sanctuary.

This shot ably illustrates the serious limitations of this rotation idea when the enclosures are small.

I agree...If it was a rotation exhibit for animals with similiar requirements then I can see it working but this is a little too ambitious. If it were for orang-utans, siamangs and sun bears then I think it would work better the tigers, anoa and gibbon.
