Red-Flanked Duiker/Colobus Monkey Exhibit

Oct. 2nd, 2010.
You are welcome! This exhibit is simply spectacular, and it currently houses two red-flanked duikers and two elderly colobus monkeys. It is a lush, dense enclosure that forces zoo visitors to take their time in an effort to spot the inhabitants, or move on without seeing any mammals.
 
That is a beautiful exhibit and a nice mix of species. I like how some areas are covered in tall grass or bushes, and some areas are flat. Very visually appealing.

This image shows perhaps 50% of the outstanding exhibit, and I just noticed a tail of a colobus monkey in the upper left-hand corner of the photo. Close by is a second island enclosure that houses a group of 4-5 red ruffed lemurs.
 
@snowleopard: for some reason I have no memory of this exhibit. Is it near the gorillas?

It is part of the Tropical Rain Forest loop (gorillas, duikers/colobus monkeys, red ruffed lemurs, colobus monkeys) that basically begins and ends with 2003's addition of Jaguar Cove. In the centre of the area is the Rain Forest building with ocelots, birds, reptiles, monkeys, etc.
