London Zoo 1904 Monkey House and Ape House Tour

[@sparrow838_]

SO well done once again. Not sure I agree the monkeys are being held in a space that reflects their "natural haunts" either...

@@sparrow838_ there’s a plant pot and… some ropes… what more could they want?!

[@wyatt-andrews-workshop22]

The sheer amount of research you put into to these builds is astounding!

[@ralphthestick]

@@wyatt-andrews-workshop22 it has broken my brain in an equally astounding way!

Christmas came early this year

[@ralphthestick]

A video is never late, gingerjoe. Nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to.

is kinda sad for those animale trap in a tiny cage but im happy that now anilams have space

[@ralphthestick]

@@Folk_core for sure - digital recreations are definitely the best way to experience this sort of zoo!

[@toveberries]

Were crows particularly exotic to the Victorians that they felt they deserved their own cage in the zoo?

[@ralphthestick]

@@toveberries more of a ‘gotta catch ‘em all’ situation

[@andregames8487]

Hi Ralph! I have a question for you. How did you put such big monkeys in a small cage? When I tried to do this and I had an animal all the time, the animal was in the box.

[@ralphthestick]

@@andregames8487 trial and error of moving everything a little bit at a time until there’s *just* enough space to place an animal. It sometimes gets a bit funky and animals get boxed, but it normally doesn’t happen with the apes for some reason
