Gibbon Island

Dec 2008. Loads of climbing opportunities for the lesser apes.

The apes were very active and I really enjoyed this exhibit when I was there.
 
There are two gibbon islands, and they are fantastic in terms of both size and climbing opportunities. I actually think that the pair of islands are two of the best gibbon exhibits in North America, as there is no wire, no bars, no poles, and no "abandoned temple theme".;)

It loses points in my book because of the blatantly fake and crude "trees," which are great for gibbon locomotion, but entirely unbelievable as a natural forest.
 
I was going to say, even I think they're ugly lol.
