Do they have some part of that monkey cage where they can get some full sun from above?
 
Dark cages surrounded by bright green foliage represents quite a contrast.
 
@ Mark, I don't think they get any full sun in to those cages. They are very dark, much more so than they even appear in the photos
 
i was at alma park zoo now about 4 years ago and the exhibits have no changed. i spoke to a keeper and they said, they arent pure rhesus monkys anyway they are ex-lab monkeys that were rescued from experiments they should be lucky to live in here! but the keeper said that all these cages were getting upgraded soon - yeah when????????????????

Well, despite the poor living conditions, the hamadryas baboon have given birth to a male
really baboons will breed in almost any sort of captive living conditions though, so its not saying much
