Hamburg Zoo - Mandrill indoor exhibit

The small indoor exhibit for mandrills in Hamburg Zoo. This exhibit is located in the African panorama, and they also have an outdoor exhibit, which is bigger than the indoor exhibit.

Good to hear that the outdoor exhibit is bigger, since this indoor exhibit seems to be rather small and poorly designed.
 
Poorly designed? It was build 1998 with the best knowledge for what the animals need. After they moved in, there is mostly no fights and they are breeding like hell ;)
 
OK, I am pleased to hear that, as well. Because my immideate impression from the picture is "overcrowded and boring"... honestly!
 
Size is not alll in the world, and the exhibit is much bigger than the pictures shows. The mandrills are looking good and are healthy, and I bet, they can use the outdoor exhibit during the day also in winter times.
 
I think using the word "boring" as a description of a husbandry should be avoided-as it is pretty much overused in these photo comment sections and, as shown, highly subjectively biased.
 
I get your point, but - also - please keep in mind that those of us who aren´t fluent in English will always express ourself much simpler and less elegant (elegantly?) then others...
 
@Dan: I understand you point, yet the rich English language should offer more adjectives other than "boring", shouldn' it? ;)
