Home to three species.
Yes the plants need time to settle and grow but I still find this very disappointing when compared to these pictures of Cotswold's Madagascar lemur walk-through, which was constructed over 10 years ago...

@Benosaurus Indeed, the plants need time to grow... but, on Tuesday the lemurs were already tearing the bark off the young bushes and eating them, so that doesn't bode well.
 
@Benosaurus - the middle photo especially is amusing to me, in the very non-Madagascan flora, especially the New Zealand Flax and Cabbage Trees. I know that most Madagascan plants wouldn't actually grow outside in England, and presumably they are going for a "Madagascar-like" feel - but it's still funny seeing the plants used.
 
How new is this exhibit? It looks like a decent size, but it could definitely use some more plantings.
