The outdoor island for common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) outside the Chimpanzee House in Givskud Zoo.
The island is 1133 km2 in size and surrounded by a water moat to one side and electric fence to the other one. A few protected trees provides shade and the island is furnished with basic climbing frames, grass and bushes and enrichment activities.

The Chimpanzee House and outdoor island opened in 1987.

Looks very attractive and seems to contain everything the Chimps require.

What is the size/sex ratio of their group here?
 
Toddy, I guess you meant 1133m2? 1133km2 is bigger than the country I live in!

It is certainly no star exhibit but the outdoor bit function well. Nothing fancy but not a bad exhibit either. When I visited last time in July 2012 the group consisted of (I think) seven females.

Good call, Zooish. I have edited it in all the pictures now. Thank you!
