Leipzig Zoo - Pongoland (Orangutan outdoor)

Outdoor exhibit for Sumatran orangutans and gibbons in Pongoland, Leipzig Zoo. Very nice exhibit, the Pongoland exhibits are probably the best for great apes in Europe.

Does anyone have any other pictures of Leipzig's outdoor orangutan exhibit that shows the portion in the linked image from zoolex?

ZooLex Picture 16

Or does the picture show what it originally looked like and what is in this photo is what is left? Thanks,

Hi Drew,

From my Sept 2013 tour,
From what l could see the trees in the background are in the exhibit but hotwired.

Thanks Stuart! By studying your picture and the one from zoolex it looks as though it is taken at another vantage point beyond the distant trees to the right of your photo as I believe I can see the deadfall climbing structures beyond them in the zoolex pic. It definitely appears that the orangs are given access to the mature trees as there are a number of ropes attached to them in the zoolex picture.

FYI,

The outdoor exhibit areas of Pomgoland were all very good in particular the size and varied terrain and vegetation of the chimp enclosure and the viewing points of the Gorilla island.

I believe that the background of trees may in fact be in the bonobo enclosure
