Cologne Zoo - Baboon rock

This is the baboon rock in Cologne Zoo. They keep more than 500 baboons in this exhibit.

That's a lot of baboons and how much bigger is this exhibit then what can be seen here?

The ISIS listing is a little confusing, with different numbers being listed under 'group' and the normal section, but I'd be surprised if there were more than 100 animals on this island. Even that number presents a wonderful spectacle, and this is one of the great European zoo exhibits. Not sure what the micro-management of the baboons is like, though.

Sooty, you're back
I can imagine it would be very impressive, Paignton zoos baboon rock is and they have about 70 odd animals.

There are 138 animals on this rock. Never been much more.

Good exhibit and visitors' favorite. But it is overcrowded and zoo is trying to curb breeding. When one baboon moves, a whole row of animals along a narrow ledge has to move - animal traffic file!

It should hold no more than 40-50 baboons in my opinion.
