this was part of the series of nasty mandrill cages. Concrete walls painted with jungle scenes, a bit of play equipment, viewed through windows at two levels (ground level and from the raised walk). This was larger than most of the mandrill cages.
There were three golden monkey cages at the zoo. One was really good, one was poor, and then there was this one which was larger than the poor one but really just did not seem suitable to be housing them in. One of the monkeys in here in particular seemed a bit deranged and was continually biting itself on the arm.
