Where the Huskies howled 4th January 2013

Now in the Emu paddock, but this was the site of the 1960s Husky exhibit at the rear of the Bear Pit.

Can you do a photo of 'where the Orangutans Orbited' (can't think of better...:( )? I think the cages must have gone but the exact location would be intersting to see again.

I shall make a note to take one on my next visit (February all being well). The Orang exhibit was where the zoo shop now stands (I posted a photo last week showing Peafowl in the shop, but it does not show the whole area). The photo I posted showing the view from Children's Planet is looking straight at where the Orangs were, but the view is obscured by parts of Children's Planet itself.

I have just posted a picture of the Coati exhibit, but it has the crucial area obscured as well.
 
What was the husky exhibit like? Did it have a "Call of the Wild" theme?

It was just a cage with Huskies in it really - on a natural substrate and with some trees as far as I remember. I don't think themes had been invented then! At least not in this country.
