Toyota Elephant Passage - Rotational Exhibit

Aug. 9th, 2012.
Its very interesting how they melded the pachyderm and gibbon exhibits together by giving the pachyderms access to the moat. The only startling thing in this to me that if a gibbon wanted to, could they not just use the pachyderm as an escape off of the island (Jumping from the island onto a pachyderm's back, and then onto/close to the pachyderm habitat land) ?

Or onto a person's back over the walkway for that matter! It really doesn't look that far, given the kind of drops and leaps gibbons are capable of.
