July 15th, 2012. This enclosure opened in 2010 and it is basically a large metal cage that is utilized by the siamangs, patas monkeys and lemurs as a rotational exhibit in the summer. The primates normally have zero access to the outdoors and so this fairly new habitat allows them to get some sunshine at different times of the year. It is much better than what is found in many other smaller zoos but I wish that each species regularly had the opportunity to choose whether it wanted to go outside or not.
