This enclosure is attached to the javan langurs enclosure. It currently houses three leopards : a young male coming from La Boissière du Doré Zoo and two females (leaving here since 2006/coming from Howletts)

are the javan langurs not distressed being in such close proximity? i imagine they would get used to it eventually but it must still be pretty stressful
Generally prey species get use to having predators in close proximity in captivity. It depends on many factors such as enclosure design and complexity and there will always be some individuals who get more stressed then others.
The langurs are not put under stress by leopards. Most of the time they are even in an area close to the leopards enclosure.
Clouded leopards are also very discreet and rarely visible during the day.
