Gorillas

May 2009.

Lovely action shot.

I don't think I have ever seen a gorilla exhibit with such natural looking climbing opportunities. What is the rest of the exhibit like?

Indeed. Just a few hours ago I returned from Casa de Campo Zoo (Madrid) which has only token climbing facilities for gibbons and colobus. One of the most benighted zoos in Europe. We can only dream of facilities such as this.Hopefully one day someone from the U.K. zoo community will report on these infernal conditions.

This photo shows perhaps 35% of the exhibit, including the climbing frame:
