Jacksonville Zoo (2023) - Kapok tree

Colobus Monkeys and Bonobos have access to it
Perhaps this giant "tree" is good for enrichment opportunities, but I find it rather ugly. The base looks like something from the Colchester Zoo's design department, the tree branches are straight from Zoo Miami's gibbon enclosure, and the top looks like San Diego's ghastly "utilitrees".
 
Is this the only outdoor exhibit for the bonobos/colobus?

It's certainly strange looking, but not that ugly, I only wish the aviary was much bigger so the tree could function as an access point.
 
@Philipine eagle it is a rotational exhibit. When I went there at January 2020 the gorilla family was displayed in the tree while the bonobos were in another exhibit with grass.
