The small island. Work is still in progress, I think.
They've managed this without making it look ugly, well done to them.:) A few platforms high up would be good too but maybe not happening?
 
No sign of anything else yet. Mali, the zoo's ace climber, and her infant had access to it yesterday. She came out a couple of times, had a climb round, clearly looking for food, climbed down, pulled up plants from the water's edge and went back inside. So far, there is nowhere to hide food which, in my opinion, is what would make Gambira and Demo climb. They were on the large island foraging on the ground.

A shelter might be a bonus too, from an orang's point of view.
 
Orangutan...

Jersey's Orangs use their high platforms freely, not sure whether they like he view, the microclimate or the feeling of security. They often take a sack up there and have a sleep.
