Snowleopard's Mammals: A Lifetime List of Species Mammalian and Non-Mammalian

[snowleopard]

In Turkey Rhesus macaques are the second most frequent primate kept (and exploited) following the grivet. The irony of most of the holders I have seen is that some of the animals are said to be rescued from illegal owners, only to be kept in a cage no better or even be used as a photo prop, making the claim likely to be balderdash.

I do want to ask about the better enclosures: did any of them have any large body of water be it a tub, a pond, or a pool? From what I know, rhesus macaques love to swim when given the chance. When I went to the Polonezköy zoo the rhesus macaque were diving in the little tub they were able to fit in which was definitely something interesting to see in the sad enclosure they were subjected to. I also remember seeing footage of rhesus macaques swimming in pools in temples.

It's interesting that the two most popular primates in Turkey are ones I've hardly ever seen. Rhesus Macaques have been present at only 9 zoos that I've been to, and I think I've only ever seen Grivets once. That would be at Erie Zoo (USA) in 2012. Maybe I need to book a road trip to Turkey!

All the Rhesus Macaque exhibits that I've witnessed have lacked any water except for drinking containers. It's actually quite shocking to look back at some of my photos of primate enclosures, with many roadside zoos having totally sparse conditions for their animals. For some of the cages, it's a positive if there's grass on the ground instead of cement and an old tire.

Ebbs Raritätenzoo in Austria has a decent enclosure for rhesus macaques, probably one of the few for this species in Europe (it is not uncommon, but rather a species for smaller zoos).

It amazes me how rare Barbary macaques are in North America. To be honest, I consider them a bit boring on my zoo trips, as I have seen them countless times.

It really shouldn't be that surprising: European native species as a group are extremely rare, if present at all, in US zoos, and most African areas are going to focus on more classic savanna species, or other sub-Saharan wildlife.

I didn't see any Crab-eating Macaques until 2017 when I came across them at a small 'sanctuary' zoo in California. Also called Long-tailed Macaques, 29 of these monkeys were added to Indianapolis Zoo in 2018 and that's a rare case of an AZA-accredited zoo showcasing a rather obscure macaque species in modern times. I have a couple of really good friends who live in Indianapolis, and one of them says that he has seen the Crab-eating Macaques on dozens of occasions...and NEVER swimming in their large pool. For whatever reason, that group of monkeys at that particular zoo rarely, if ever, go into the water. He always says that it's such a waste to have an ex- Polar Bear pool that sits empty all day long. The macaques are near the front of the zoo, and so you can see the monkeys on the way in and on the way out during a visit and he's yet to see one in the water in 6 years. Interesting. I wonder if the pool is too big or too deep for the monkeys, and perhaps they need a smaller body of water.

Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary (USA) is where I first saw this species, in a standard cage that at least has enrichment opportunities for the monkeys.

At Wilderness Trails Zoo (USA), only one of these small cages held Crab-eating Macaques during my visit. The other two had Ring-tailed Lemurs and Black-handed Spider Monkeys.

Animal Haven Zoo (USA) had two corn-crib cages for Crab-eating Macaques and Japanese Macaques. Two species in boring, sterile environments.

Special Memories Zoo (USA) with another junky cage, this time for Crab-eating Macaques. I have a soft spot for the state of Wisconsin, because I saw so many terrible zoos there and so I decided to head to Europe. That was a great decision. Thank you Wisconsin!

Crab-eating Macaques popped up again at Tiergarten Monchengladbach (Germany), in yet another poor cage for the species.

The most extraordinary enclosure for the species is found at Dierenrijk (Animal Kingdom) (Netherlands). Here there's a spacious exhibit for Asian Elephants, Red Deer, Chital and Crab-eating Macaques all together in one big, happy family. Ha!

There's a separate indoor area that only the Crab-eating Macaques can access:

It's separate from the main Elephant Barn, where it would be neat to see a macaque!

@Tiger

Lastly, Jyllands Park Zoo (Denmark) had a single Crab-eating Macaque sitting on this rather desolate looking island when I was there in 2022. It appears that the only way for a primate to venture out onto the island is through the long, metal tube structure on the right-hand side.

This thread has really highlighted just how rough most macaques have it in captivity...

It's unfortunate to hear the macaques at Indianapolis have little interest in using their pool; If nothing else it's a really creative reuse of an old polar bear enclosure. The greatest crab-eating macaque exhibit I've ever seen is at Monkey Jungle (Florida, USA), one of the only real primate parks in the states. Many of the enclosures there are abominable, but the macaque enclosure is spectacular. It's a seven acre forest with around 100 individuals that guests view from an elaborate tunnel system. It's so good I almost included it on America's 100 Must-see Exhibits, ultimately deciding against it due to the mediocre reputation of the facility as a whole.

Anyway, I bring this up because when I visited many years ago I witnessed a really neat feeding demonstration where keepers tossed food into the water for the macaques to get. At least 40-50 macaques congregated around the area which was quite the sight to behold, but not a single one decided to take a dive. It makes me wonder if just because the macaques can swim doesn't mean they enjoy to swim.

That's a great story about Monkey Jungle, a zoo I've never visited even though I've twice been through the state of Florida.

The whole macaque situation in North America is a bit depressing. Species such as Tonkean, Booted, Toque, Stump-tailed and Bonnet are all but non-existent, other than the occasional roadside zoo, and I'm going to highlight those 5 types all together in a single post tomorrow. I was surprised to find out that Sulawesi Crested, Barbary, Rhesus, Crab-eating and Pig-tailed are all but gone as well. Even Lion-tailed Macaques appear to be few and far between and if one jumps ahead 5 years, how many macaques of any of those 11 species will be left in North American zoos? I fear there won't be very many, with some remaining in really shoddy enclosures. Japanese Macaques are the ONE species that is doing okay, helped tremendously by several AZA-accredited zoos jumping on board with new exhibits in the last decade. But to focus on a single type of macaque, when so many others are doing well in European collections, is a bit frustrating for zoo nerds.

Japanese Macaques are the ONE species that is doing okay, helped tremendously by several AZA-accredited zoos jumping on board with new exhibits in the last decade.

People keep claiming this, and I'm still confused as per the AZA data I've looked at Japanese Macaque has lost holders and the population continues to very slowly decline over the last decade. I don't know if it was holders stepping up to replace existing ones going out of them or what, but there has not been an increase in zoos holding them.

to focus on a single type of macaque, when so many others are doing well in European collections, is a bit frustrating for zoo nerds.

Not really for the public though, who will count them as monkeys and that's good enough. With the herpes scares macaques found disfavor that fueled their decline, and with less than 100 AZA zoos currently participating in the Afro-Eurasian Monkey TAG, choices have had to be made for what to maintain that could be kept stable, and Japanese Macaque is the only one with holder interest and enough of a population to hopefully hold on. Lion-tailed Macaque even saw imports not all that long ago, but even that wasn't enough to save the population. They've fizzled out and before long they'll be gone. There really just isn't enough interest (or space for that matter) to successfully maintain populations of multiple macaque species at this point in time.

Has the number of individuals gone up though? The AZA zoos I've seen them at all have pretty large troops, many with multiple births a year.

 

[snowleopard]

It seems that there are less Japanese Macaque holders, but the zoos that maintain the species have them in large, healthy troops. But, long-term it's worrying for every single type of macaque.

One could make a similar case for baboons, which just like macaques are held in large numbers at a diverse range of zoos all across Europe. Yet, in North America it's a rarity to come across a baboon exhibit at any zoo. It's really too bad, as seeing 50 to 100 baboons in a single enclosure at a big European zoo is tremendously enjoyable. Those kind of exhibits draw massive crowds and people hang around for several minutes as there's always something going on with energetic baboons. If you want to see a baboon exhibit in North America, other than San Diego and a few other noteworthy establishments, one has to visit a junky roadside zoo with a few baboons in small wire cages.

There really just isn't enough interest (or space for that matter) to successfully maintain populations of multiple macaque species at this point in time.

I would hope that, even once all the elderly individuals pass on, at least one or two zoos maintain a tropical macaque species (e.g., lion-tailed or Sulawesi crested) by cooperating with Europe akin to Bronx Zoo and geladas. I'm not saying this is likely, just what I'd personally love to see. Macaques also though happen to be one of my favorite groups of animals, as they are behaviorally so fascinating, but I know I'm in the minority.

 

[Great Argus]

No - they remain around the 120 individuals mark just as they were a decade ago and are considered to be in slow decline as they have been since the 90's. The population is currently half of what it was 30 years ago, at the peak population point before the herpes.

 

[15399]

Has the number of individuals gone up though? The AZA zoos I've seen them at all have pretty large troops, many with multiple births a year.

Note that, despite Lincoln Park, Detroit, and Minnesota having large troops, that isn't what all zoos have (and given that Japanese macaques are a despotic species, they are more difficult to manage in large troops than many other Papionini species). Buffalo Zoo currently has five individuals (managed in two groups), Central Park doesn't have a very large troop either. There is also only a total of eleven holders in the AZA, two of which are in Canada, and while yes, some of the troops are large, they aren't large in the way some penguin or flamingo colonies are so that a small number of institutions can yield a sustainable population.

 

[snowleopard]

After analyzing 7 different macaque species in the past week, I will now lump the remaining 5 species all together into one post as they have been extreme rarities for me and are at very few zoos.

Bonnet Macaques:

1- DeYoung Family Zoo (USA) – Bonnet Macaque – 2014
2- Franklin Drive-Thru Safari (USA) – Bonnet Macaque – 2015
3- Keepers of the Wild Nature Park (USA) – Bonnet Macaque – 2015
4- GarLyn Zoo (USA) – Bonnet Macaque – 2018

DeYoung Family Zoo (USA) has consistently displayed some rare primates over the years, including Bonnet Macaques:

@Milwaukee Man

Franklin Drive-Thru Safari (USA) had two enclosures with Bonnet Macaques when I visited in 2015:

Keepers of the Wild Nature Park (USA) also had two small, very basic cages for Bonnet Macaques that same year:

GarLyn Zoo (USA) had a single Bonnet Macaque with zero outdoor access in this enclosure in 2018:

Stump-tailed Macaques:

1- Greater Vancouver Zoo (Canada) – Stump-tailed Macaque – 1998
2- Keepers of the Wild Nature Park (USA) – Stump-tailed Macaque – 2015

The exhibit at Greater Vancouver Zoo for Stump-tailed Macaques was demolished years ago, but there is a photo surviving in the ZooChat gallery for this species that I took at Keepers of the Wild Nature Park (USA) in 2015:

Toque Macaques:

1- Berlin Zoo (Germany) – Toque Macaque – 2019
2- Skaerup Zoo (Denmark) – Toque Macaque – 2022

Berlin Zoo (Germany) has kept Toque Macaques for many years, but are one of very few European zoos to have had the species in recent times.

@FunkyGibbon

@Green_mamba

I was genuinely surprised to come across a group of Toque Macaques at Skaerup Zoo (Denmark) in 2022.

@Fat-tailed dwarf lemur

Booted Macaques:

1- Special Memories Zoo (USA) – Booted Macaque – 2018

The now closed Special Memories Zoo (USA) had a single Booted Macaque a few years ago and I'd be curious to know where it ended up. My photo shows a Booted in the foreground and a Sulawesi Crested in the background, as the two types of macaque were in the same cage. Booted Macaques might well be extinct in zoos outside their native range.

Tonkean Macaques:

1- Franklin Drive-Thru Safari (USA) – Tonkean Macaque – 2015

I feel privileged to have seen so many different macaque species in captivity, but on the other hand many of them were kept in very poor conditions. There's still too many American roadside zoos that have all sorts of random primates in small cages and frequently there might only be one or two animals together instead of a healthy, prosperous troop. I'd be curious to know how many Bonnet, Stump-tailed, Toque, Booted and Tonkean Macaques are still in zoos anywhere in the world, as they are probably rarer than they've ever been in captivity. I'm guessing that someone like @Giant Eland might have come across more macaque species than perhaps anyone on ZooChat. He's traveled far and wide and has accumulated a lot of sightings of species in both zoos and the wild.

Mammal Lists:

Gibbons - 143 zoos (9 species: 64 White-handed, 62 Siamang, 36 White-cheeked, 12 Yellow-cheeked, 7 Southern Grey, 5 Pileated, 3 Silvery, 2 Agile, 1 Eastern Hoolock, with some zoos having multiple species)

Elephants - 105 zoos (62 Asian, 53 African, including some zoos with both)

Macaques - 80 zoos (12 species: 25 Lion-tailed, 23 Japanese, 16 Barbary, 13 Sulawesi Crested, 10 Pig-tailed, 9 Rhesus, 7 Crab-eating, 4 Bonnet, 2 Stump-tailed, 2 Toque, 1 Booted, 1 Tonkean, including some zoos with multiple species)

@snowleopard have you seen long tailed macaques particularly at the Indianapolis Zoo (USA)?

 

[snowleopard]

@snowleopard have you seen long tailed macaques particularly at the Indianapolis Zoo (USA)?

In an earlier post, I listed all the zoos where I saw Long-tailed/Crab-eating Macaques and I've not seen them at Indianapolis Zoo. I toured that zoo in 2008 and 2012, but that was back when they had a Polar Bear exhibit.

Funny you say that because if I recall correctly Catoctin wildlife park still has a sizable troop of them (and probably is the reason why this species has found its way to some shady places)

I am prepared to be corrected but there might be a small handful zoos in France, including Thoiry, holding Tonkeans. In Japan Tokiwa Zoo in Yamaguchi prefecture has great-looking exhibits for both bonnet and toque macaques, with the former being mixed with asian small clawed otters. If I recall correctly you can also see toque macaques in Japan Monkey center and Nasu World Monkey Park both of which keep the animals in undesirable conditions. Ehime prefecture Tobe Zoo did list stump-tail macaques on their website but it has been a while since I checked it. If you can ever visit Japan soon enough then you might have a chance to see Tibetan macaque and Formosan macaque outside their native range in JMC for both and Zoorasia for Tibetan macaque.

 

[birdsandbats]

As previously mentioned Catoctin Wildlife Park in Thurmont, Maryland has a large troop of Booted Macaques. They love to advertise them as the only ones outside Sulawesi.

Funny you say that because if I recall correctly Catoctin wildlife park still has a sizable troop of them (and probably is the reason why this species has found its way to some shady places)

I don't think Special Memories would have obtained their Booted Macaque from Catoctin though, considering the owners were completely unaware that this animal was not a Celebes Crested Macaque.
