Tibetan Macaque at Barcelona, 2002

Macaca thibetanus

Not great photos but they plug a couple of TLD\'s gaps.

They basically look like Stumpies but not quite as ugly

is that the entire enclosure (with the right side out-of-shot but seen in the other photo)? That is horrendous, if so.

The right-hand half had a bit more climbing that doesn't show in either photo but no, it wasn't a great enclosure for them. I saw two on my first visit (when I took the skunk photo) and one on this visit.

By my fourth visit to Barcelona in 2011, this area still hadn't improved much: http://www.zoochat.com/467/mangabey-exhibit-barcelona-30-05-11-a-223001/

Barcelona in general is what I would probably describe as a 'well-meaning' zoo - very few of the exhibits are really good, a small number dire, most OK-ish. There've been quite a lot of changes since my last visit though, I believe.
