Apenheul Apeldoorn

The Apenheul is a zoo with mostly monkeys on the outskirts of the Dutch city of Apeldoorn. More than 300 monkeys of around 35 different species that live in Africa, South America and Asia reside in the park. Many of the animals are not locked up in cages: mesh or bars are hardly visible. Some species roam freely among visitors. Others, such as gorillas, bonobos, and orangutans, live on large islands surrounded by canals. The spacious enclosures and the natural groups in which the animals are kept allow the animals to show much of their natural behavior
