How tall is this indoor exhibit? Are all 25 Hamadryas Baboons locked inside at night? Do the baboons have access to their outdoor area in winter?
 
The exhibit is not much taller than you can see, and I do not know how much space there is offshow. But they are aloud to be outside in winter time and when I visited in 2012 they even were partly outside at -10 degrees celsius. I do not know if they are all inside at night time.
 
Hamadryas baboons at Frankfurt used to occupy a moated 'rock' as a large group. Presumably no longer if they are inside the Monkeyhouse now? I saw these cages in the late 1960's and they don't look any different now.
 
This Cage is only for the public-the baboons have a second,much larger indoor exhibit in the cellar, not visible to the visitors, where they spend the night in wintertimes.
