The Aye-ayes as far as I know are not in Clore, no. They live in what was the old gorilla house, the big white Tecton one which used to rotate. It had Koalas in back in the early 90s and now its home to Aye Ayes and Ring-tailed lemurs. That's how it was in 05, don't see why it would have changed and certainly not heard owt since.

Still home to Aye Ayes(inside) and Ringtailed Lemurs(outside)

Bat cave in Nocturnal basement section of Clore Pavilion is still there- can't remember if its exactly the same as previously or ha been altered though ,as its many years since I last went in there.

Someone asked if marmosets in the cages are rotated with the open rainforest. I'd say almost definately they're not.
 
With regards to the tecton Roundhouse, ZSL also housed binturong there in between the Koalas and the aye-ayes, I've no idea where they were from or where they went, though.

Have the agoutis been moved out of the Clore rainforest? Tortoises seem to have appeared on the floor of the exhibit, I haven't visited that recently all the titi monkey publicity doesn't mention agoutis. I'm guessing they were too hard on the plants in the space.
 
Watch this piece of film from youtube showing the round house in action, it is a wee bit further on in the film.

Can anyone confirm for me that the round house once contained an elephant? I have read various sources stating that, yet I don't quite believe it yet...

If so, I assume it must've been one of the young ones that were imported...
 
I Have a book which about London zoos history which lists an elephant as one of the many former inhabitends of the round house
