One of the four outdoor ball-cages by the Madagascar House in Cologne Zoo, Germany. This ball-cage is for the white-belted ruffed lemurs.
The ball-cages are extensions to the original outdoor exhibits of the Madagascar House. The lemurs access to the ball-cages by raised walkways above the visitors. I am not very fond of these exhibits as they are not very large and two of the four do not touch the ground = no natural substrate and no shade. The mesh is also terrible to get a good view through.
