I have been to plenty of walkthroughs with tamarins and inside none-walkthrough enclosures for tamarins as a keeper too. Aggressive behaviour has never been an issue.
I think i would more concerned about the monkeys in such a setting. Children and small delicate animals usually dont pair up to well
Yeah I've seen many walkthroughs with Tamarin. The problem is actually the other way. You need a supervisor always there to make sure the visitors (especially chidren) don't accidentally harm the tiny monkeys.
But then they are ridiculously big unfortunately. Never seen this huge enclosure for tamarins. Maybe there are some, butI am sure those are walk-through.
Yeah. The WE is the size of a small building, so I don't get why people say they're too small...
I don't think it's unfortunate, what makes it look big is the height, which because bats need height more than length and width was necessary when the WE was introduced
But its still smaller than what a normal habitat would be. The WE has 240 square meters while the smallest space requirements in game is 180 + whatever you need for a group of them + how much space is gonna be taken up by pieces.
I think the issue here is how Frontier designed the game. Almost all pieces are oriented at a 4x4m grid, whereas previous zoo games used 2x2m as a standard. Also some of the textures in the game seem to be oriented towards that (take the clay roof tiles and bricks from brick walls which are ridiculously big if you calculate how many there are in 4m). As a result, many items look much smaller then they are according to the game rules because everything is standardised to 4m where this would be 1 or 2 in real life (take paths for instance, which are normally 1 or 2m at the smallest).
That's actually what I'm dreaming of. I don't think it's going to happen though.
I have been to a Zoo, I think it was las vegas Nevada where there was a big Walkthrough exhibit with Tamarins but they had Cottontop and golden lion. And they had a Sloth in with them as well. So I think adding tamarins could be possible and I would add an Interspecies enrichment bonus with the Brown Throated Sloth.
You just proved my point. If a Tamarin enclosure is this big, it will certainly be walkthrough. My point is, you cannot create a realistic non-walkthrough exhibit with this huge box.
Cottontop Tamarins are currently enclosed in my city zoo's lemur habitat and it's not walkthrough.
That's how we'd get them if we do I think. Only I'd add t.he Pygmy Marmoset. And maybe one for small old world primates later. Like Bushbaby, Mouse Lemur, Aye-Aye, and one or both of the Talapoin Monkeys.
Well sure, there will always be exceptions, but really most of the Tamarin enclosures are pretty small. That box is simply too big to be beliavable Tamarin non-walkthrough enclosure. This brigs back the wish for different sizes of the exhibits, which would solve all my issues with them.
