[TeaLovingDave]

This would be an appropriate point to highlight the following photograph of a Chiropotes hybrid - the last survivor of a captive population of White-nosed Saki which was present at Zoo Köln until 2001 as an impure line containing hybrid input from Red-backed and Black Saki; the final pure individual having passed away in the late 1980's.

Imagine a zoo that kept only species that @devilfish or @Giant Eland have seen. Pretty sure it'd basically have all the animals

I posted a photo of a monk saki at Brasilia zoo that was signed as such and different from the one pictured here.

 

[TeaLovingDave]

Any idea what it could be, if it is not Monk - which I agree with, by the by?

Looks to me like a male P. mittermeieri.

Yes looking at the Photos i believe devifish maybe correct about the saki at Brazilia zoo.

 

[carlos55]

Here is a photo of a juvenile aloutta paliata mexicana kept at San Juan de Aragon zoo in Mexico City. Chapultepec zoo has aloutta pigra, so this aloutta palliata mexicana went to San Juan de Aragon zoo.

Interesting - last year you identified the same individual at San Juan de Aragon as pigra; which is correct?

[carlos55]

It is a paliatta, the pigra are at Chapultepec, a keeper told me this. The signs at the zoos mention Both species which why i named them simply as mexican black howler monkeys. In México Both species Range overlap, many young are confiscated and zoos here do not usually make the difference. Various zoos hold both species like zoomat and xcaret.

 

[TeaLovingDave]

Fair enough - though I actually meant you named it as pigra in the comments for that photo.

 

[devilfish]

It looks like they've been distorted, but I've uploaded photos of Isabel's saki, and Rylands' bald-faced saki for you:
