Conservation Carousel Construction

April 22, 2011.
I'm actually happy about the location, although it probably means that the area won't be used for the Golden Lion Tamarin free range anymore...
 
I didn't know they were still using it for their free range area. I hadn't seen Golden Lion Tamarin in this area for at least 4 or 5 years.
 
Yeah, the zoo stopped when the construction of the gorilla exhibit started to minimize stress on the GLTs. I believe there was plans to continue once the construction around the area was complete, but with a carousel now being built there I doubt that area will ever be used for free range again.

It's possible they could go back to a free range study in the older flight cage. That's where they were allowed free range, with a couple of docents observing them, before they were placed in the theme area.
 
Once both are completed, this will be a great overlook towards the new LAIR complex which is directly across the road.
