The ceiling of the larger night house for the 4 Patas monkeys has water damage. The water damage and rotting wood is affecting the structural strength of the ceiling and the building is not being maintained in good repair. The damaged ceiling maybe allowing rain water into the enclosures which may be wetting the animals. The constant moist conditions have allowed mildew and mold growth which can be hazardous to the animals health and well-being. Also the male Patas monkey is having some kind of moisture issues. It is damp and moist and there is still some areas of wood above the entrance that are exhibiting signs of moisture. There is a slight smell of mildew and there are insects that favor moist and damp conditions present in the night house. There may still be some underlying source of water leakage present in the night house that needs to be addressed to alleviate the moisture and dampness. The male Patas monkeys night house does have some patch work but there may be another issue contributing to the moisture issue. The ceiling must be repaired or replaced, and maintained to ensure that the building is structurally sound and kept in good repair.
