Yep, and before that Lion-tailed Macaques (1977--1990?). One of my all-time favorite exhibits, with a level of detail and complexity rarely achieved anywhere.
Bingo! While in the 80s the occasional "walkabout"by the lion-tails was tolerated, the more recent multiple escapes by the DeBrazzas led to their banishment...
There haven't been any primates in this amazingly lush enclosure for years now, as the only time in recent memory that the DeBrazzas were introduced at least one of them promptly escaped! There are only red-flanked duikers in the exhibit, which are elusive and tough to locate, but that makes photographing them one of the highlights of any zoo visit. In this photo one is clearly visible, while I saw another of the antelope hidden in the dense bushes.
Too small and no holding for large ungulates--it's designed as an island with narrow log bridges for primates to cross the moat. The duiker shelter is small enough to be hidden on the island.
