Basically a network of branches placed in a pool of water. Houses a pair of Bengal Slow Loris.

Wow, an open-air loris exhibit! That is a first! Which other facilities do this?

@UngulateNerd92 lots of Asian zoos keep their lorises in outdoors cages. The animals inside them aren't necessarily seen very often though...

@Chlidonias ah ok. I meant an open top exhibit seemingly without a cover unless this enclosure has a cover that is higher up?

@UngulateNerd92 this enclosure is just branches over water.

This enclosure no longer exists by the way. The loris are now housed in a standard meshed enclosure.

@Zooish ah ok. What happened to this enclosure, was it completely demolished or converted into something else? If the former, what stands there now, if the latter, what has it been developed/revamped into?

@UngulateNerd92 the area where this enclosure used to be has been redeveloped into the Explorer Outpost: Fishing Cat Trail - Explorer Outpost - ZooChat

@Zooish what a shame and a disappointment! Why did they decide to redevelop the Fishing Cat Trail?

@UngulateNerd92 Only a small part of the Fishing Cat Trail (Indian gharial and loris exhibits) was redeveloped into the Explorer Outpost. The rest of the trail is still there.
