I think so - and Pertinax will correct me if I'm wrong. His group was in the last enclosure (the furthest from the car park) when I visited last summer.

What is the blue and yellow thing on the left of the photo?

It another of the unusaul obstacles in the enclosure. Designed for enrichment.

yes, that's Djanghou. His group was only transferred to this enclosure- which used to house Bitam's group- last summer. Before that they lived in the oldest run of cages, where Bitam's old females live now.

I thought Djanghou very impressive when I last saw him- very trim and athletic looking. He has proved a good breeder too.

He certainly is, very laid back and is the second sliver back to come up to where I was and sit and watch me.

I sat and watched his group for a couple of hours.

It's a metal ball at least 1.5 metres in diameter (possibly larger) which has metal hand holds all over it to act as a climbing toy. This one has just had a fresh coat of paint.
