Just about all the primate exhibits are too small for their inhabitants, as these cages would be better suited to marmosets and tamarins. On a side note, the zoo's website states that "it takes approximately 1-1.5 hours to tour the zoo", but Greenville does pack a lot of notable animals into that short time frame. This is one AZA-accredited American zoo that I've never visited and so I appreciate the photos.
 
@snowleopard I'm glad I made the trip too, as it's a decent little zoo and (though it's not large by any means) it may have been one of the biggest zoos in the country that until today was not represented in the media gallery at all - especially surprising given the number of marquee animals they have.

The primate exhibits are not the most ideal or exemplary I've seen, but as far as meeting needs go I think there's more than meets the eye: they have a lot of climbing opportunities, all have appropriate social companions, and there are also small indoor shelters they have full access to (the inside of which I didn't get any good photos of because of glare).
