Asian Forest Sanctuary - Rotation Exhibit Signage

March 5th, 2010.
For those that are not aware of the policy of the Asian Forest Sanctuary, any of those 7 species on the sign can be found in at least 3 of the 5 different exhibits that feature rotating animals. On my most recent visit there were white-cheeked gibbons in with lowland anoas, and often the porcupines and otters can be found together in the same enclosure. Naturally the Sumatran tigers cannot be placed in the same exhibit as any of the other species, but whenever I visit the zoo I'm never quite sure where the animals will be found within the Asian zone.

But there is a 4 out of 5 chance whatever animals you see will be presented in a fairly barren, generic mesh cage, which takes away any real advantage of this labor-intensive and very expensive exhibition method, IMO.
