The Rainforest

Spider monkeyEnter the lush tranquillity of a South American Rainforest, where monkeys swing just an arm's length away.

Arachnophobics beware! Tarantulas live at the entrance of the rainforest, in their own microclimate habitat behind glass.

 

Golden lion tamarin

Walk through to see golden lion and cotton-top tamarins climbing through the branches.

Peer into the dense vegetation for bonnet macaques foraging for food to store in their cheek pouches. In this area you might also spot in the undergrowth two female Asian small-clawed otters.

Siamang gibbon

Continue on your journey to hear the loud bellowing call of Iwani and Kera, our siamang gibbons, waking to a new day.

See the large family group of spider monkeys caring for their young and playfully clambering across their island forest.
