What an incredible-looking enclosure! I'm used to seeing this species in darkened nocturnal houses, usually in cement boxes with fake backdrops that are perhaps 10 feet wide. How many of them were in this exhibit? Were they avoiding sunlight amongst the leaves?

It was nice to see lorises in reasonable enclosures across the region (though not pleasant to see how commonly they were used as photo props).

I'm not sure how many there were, but I think I saw at least three. They have nest boxes, and one of them only popped out for a brief walk during the daytime. At night there were a few more out but it wasn't easy to make them out.

I don't think it would be difficult for the zoo to double the amount of foliage in the enclosure; they obviously don't need all the empty ground that they have at the moment.

They certainly didn't make the gardeners do overtime to put this together..:confused:
