Toyota Elephant Passage - Gibbon Island

Aug. 9th, 2012.
Is Denver the only zoo in North America that has brachiating gibbons going above the heads of visitors? The three small islands with overhanging ropes is a fantastic concept, but I wonder what will occur in the winter as at the moment the gibbon house does not have any viewing windows. I suppose that the gibbons will not be able to be seen on extremely cold days.
 
Nope, Disney's Animal Kingdom features the same possibility. The siamangs have access to a the top of a large post in the visitor area that is connected to the climbing structure in their habitat by cables. I've even seen them use it.
