Old monkey cage (2014)

Before the squirrel monkeys a group of crab-eating macaques were living in this enclosure. They had the possibility to use the water moat.
Saarbrücken Zoo is a collection of ugly exhibits build in the sixties and seventies. This monkey exhibit is in a kind of unique because of its open front. I don't know any other monkey cage with a construction like this. It worked much better with the crab-eating macaques.
 
@wstefan I have seen similar structures for S-American species in Lisboa and from pictures in Opole, but there the water moat really is a waste of space...
