It’s a jungle out there: Inside Dublin Zoo

On Wednesday Dublin Zoo will open a brand new orang-tan enclosure, a new €3m forest home that will replicate their natural habitat in Borneo. Still a construction site, Rowena Walsh wears her hard hat and goes behind the scenes to take a look.

DUBLIN Zoo’s orang-utans are moving house.

Their new home is five times the size of their current, 1970s-style dwelling, and it boasts all manner of mod cons, designed to suit even the most discerning primate.
