The public barriers in front of the primates are not adequate to prevent physical contact between the public and the nonhuman primates. The capuchin and brown lemur are in separate enclosures on either side of a sheltered building leading to a large room housing animals. Some panels of metal fencing are loosely placed in front of these cages to serve as barriers. These are inadequate as they are easily moveable and they are too close to the primates cages. A metal fence of sufficient height is in front of the two outdoor cages housing the 2 ring tailed lemurs and the one vervet, but the fence is incomplete and easy to walk around. If public members come into the indoor large animal room with the two bush babies, then a barrier is needed to keep the public from coming into contact with the primates. All barriers need to be adequate to protect the public and the animals.
