Public Viewing/Handicap Accessibility

• A glass separates the animals from the visitors. – The reason for this is because humans

carry many types of diseases and this is one of the leading factors killing these chimpanzees.

• This viewing will not have any ramps, nor stairs so it will be easier for the handicap to view this species.

Protection From Severe Weather

• This habitat includes an entrance through the rocks (a cave)

• The animals will evacuate into to the center of the cave whenever we are under a severe weather warning or threat.

• Protecting these animals is a necessity, so please take all precautions by making sure all the animals are accounted for.
