I see clear evidence of Colchester's mock-rock design team...mon dieu!

To be fair: Is this new rock work or just the old one redone?

Both; the background is the old rock, the smaller rocks I think are new.

Ok, then it is just bad rock work. Over all this zoo seems rather disappointing to me.

Well, if nothing else - it still looks like Vincennes to me.

So is this on the same site as the previous Guinea Baboon 'rock' enclosure?(which I saw on my only visit here many moons ago.) though I've seen some of the Baboons since(or rather their descendants) at Port Lympne.

The zoo seems to really like rocks, concrete, bark, and bare logs and sticks.

I cannot stand the rock work at this zoo. Firstly it is to boxy and unnatural. Second it is always colored weirdly and is way to light. This exhibit may not be pleasing to look at, but it is a nice exhibit for the baboons.
