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

[aardvark250]

The quality of the exhibits for this species is all over the map. One of my most memorable times seeing Tufted Capuchins was with @sooty mangabey at Landgoed Hoenderdaell (Netherlands) because the monkeys had a lot of trees available to them for climbing.

So you did see sooty mangabey in another zoo

 

[RonBurrgundy]

Osnabruck Zoo (Germany) had a series of linked outdoor enclosures for Tufted Capuchins in 2019. Does this South American building still exist? I thought I read somewhere that it was going to be demolished.

The building is almost completly demolished. The pig-tailed macaques indoor area is still standing and also one of the former capuchin indoor enclosures (which is now used for red pandas and tufted deer).

 

[snowleopard]

Figuring out which capuchin was at which zoo has been a fascinating but arduous task. I already posted the 44 zoos where I have seen Tufted Capuchins (also called Brown or Black-capped or sometimes even Black Capuchins - which are a whole other type), and I've toured 22 zoos with White-faced Capuchins (occasionally signed as White-headed or White-throated or Central American White-faced Capuchins). I even have several more capuchin species that I'll lump into one post next time around.

1- Emperor Valley Zoo (Trinidad & Tobago) – White-faced Capuchin – 2008
2- Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2010
3- San Antonio Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2010
4- Zoo Boise (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2010
5- Happy Hollow Park & Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2011
6- Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2011
7- Palm Beach Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2012
8- Dickerson Park Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2012
9- Bramble Park Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2014
10- Hemker Park & Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2014
11- DeYoung Family Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2014
12- Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2015
13- Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2015
14- Franklin Drive-Thru Safari (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2015
15- Monterey Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2017
16- Applegate Park Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2017
17- Saginaw Children’s Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2018
18- Washington Park Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2018
19- Special Memories Zoo (USA) – White-faced Capuchin – 2018
20- Dierenpark de Oliemeulen (Netherlands) – White-faced Capuchin – 2019
21- Apenheul Primate Park (Netherlands) – White-faced Capuchin – 2019
22- Serengeti-Park (Germany) – White-faced Capuchin – 2019

Rather than a typical small cage, Fort Wayne Children's Zoo (USA) had its White-faced Capuchins in an open space when I was there in 2010.

That area was subsequently renovated to look like this now:

@Moebelle

Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park (USA) has loads of primate islands around the zoo (at least 15 of them) and White-faced Capuchins have a couple of these exhibits. The land area is merely adequate, but the monkeys can sometimes be seen high up in their towering trees.

Dickerson Park Zoo (USA) had White-faced Capuchins in a spacious cage in 2012:

There are still roadside zoos such as Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch (USA) with the species in tiny cages like this one:

And the less said about Applegate Park Zoo's (USA) cage the better. Gotta love that swinging tire.

The good news is that the relatively obscure, AZA-accredited Saginaw Children's Zoo (USA) has a large, grassy enclosure for a troop of White-faced Capuchins.

Serengeti-Park (Germany) has a group of White-faced Capuchins and one of them is an ex-pet of Canadian musician Justin Bieber! Perhaps it's the one in this photo. He looks ready to belt out a song.

@Daniel Sörensen

And of course Apenheul Primate Park (Netherlands), one of the special zoos of the world, has White-faced Capuchins.

@EmperorTamarin

This exhibit actually currently houses Yellow-breasted capuchins, not white-faced. The enclosures are in different areas of the park and sadly the Yellow-breasted capuchin islands have been shrunk significantly. The largest of the islands is currently being used as a separation enclosure for Gorillas, so sadly they don't have nearly the same amount of space anymore. It was supposed to be only temporary but the Gorilla move has been delayed for years now.

Still, it speaks to the size and quality of the exhibit when just half of your capuchin monkey enclosure can function as a small Gorilla enclosure

 

[TinoPup]

Catching up here...

@MGolka I visited Omaha in 2008, 2012 and 2018 and I don't recall seeing Sulawesi Crested Macaques on any of my visits. Maybe there were some there, but I'm usually quite comprehensive with my reviews and I don't think I ever mentioned the species in any of my write-ups. Also, the gallery has only two photos of the macaques and those images are dated 2018 and 2021. But if someone convinces me that the species was there during one of my visits then I'll definitely add Omaha to my list. I'd love to do that.

They definitely had several in 2018, in an exhibit with Colobuses. I don't have a full exhibit shot because there were so many kids in front of it, but here's the sign and one individual:


Every single one had their fingers in their butts except this one, who started touching himself after I took a few photos, so they were fairly memorable

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.

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.

They built a new exhibit for them 2-3 years ago, too. They have 20+ and have been sending them to a few other zoos the last couple of years.

For me, my perception is that mangabeys are not very common in zoos around the world, even though they are fascinating primates with their long tails and limbs. The species I've seen most often is the Red-capped Mangabey, but only at 11 zoos. All of the American establishments on my list are famous, AZA-accredited facilities, while all 3 of the European zoos are EAZA-accredited. I've never seen this particular species in a roadside American zoo.

I'm amazed you've seen them at 8 US zoos really. In the USA there's only Denver (2), Binder Park (2), Kansas City, and Los Angeles, who seem to be keeping their lone female behind the scenes currently.

Black mangabey is a little more common and will likely be on the upswing, now that Richmond has a breeding group.

 

[birdsandbats]

Is it known which species of White-faced Capuchin is kept in zoos?

As of a decade ago, there were *exactly* eight AZA zoos with the species. It was either 2015 or a little while after that the AZA stopped managing this species.

It's fascinating how Apenheul Primate Park can shift animals around if necessary. By having an entire zoo that is 95% primates, it's possible to move monkeys to new areas because every exhibit is created with that type of animal in mind.

Your comment reminds me of a similar question that I had for this thread. Earlier, I listed 36 zoos with White-cheeked Gibbons, and I've reposted that list below. I wonder if any zoo nerd would know which of the zoos had Southern White-cheeked Gibbons (Nomascus siki), as most of the animals I have seen would have been Northern White-cheeked Gibbons (Nomascus leucogenys). Maybe a couple of the European zoos would have had the Southern type?

1- Perth Zoo (Australia) – White-cheeked Gibbon – 1987

All the Australian ones would be Northern.

According to Zootierliste, only three French zoos have Southern White-Cheeked gibbons in Europe. So there are a few, but you haven't seen them I'm afraid

 

[snowleopard]

After Tufted and White-faced, it's time to look at a few other capuchins in a single post. Golden-bellied Capuchins, sometimes called Yellow-breasted or Buff-headed Capuchins, have been seen by me in 9 zoos and all of them have been in Europe.

1- GaiaZOO (Netherlands) – Golden-bellied Capuchin – 2019
2- Frankfurt Zoo (Germany) – Golden-bellied Capuchin – 2019
3- Cologne Zoo (Germany) – Golden-bellied Capuchin – 2019
4- ZooParc Overloon (Netherlands) – Golden-bellied Capuchin – 2019
5- Apenheul Primate Park (Netherlands) – Golden-bellied Capuchin – 2019
6- Berlin Tierpark (Germany) – Golden-bellied Capuchin – 2019
7- Allwetterzoo Munster (Germany) – Golden-bellied Capuchin – 2019
8- Dierenpark Amersfoort (Netherlands) – Golden-bellied Capuchin – 2019
9- Parken Zoo (Sweden) – Golden-bellied Capuchin – 2022

GaiaZOO (Netherlands) keeps the species with Capybaras:

@KevinB

ZooParc Overloon (Netherlands) also has a water moat surrounding its capuchin island.

@KevinB

At Berlin Tierpark (Germany), there's Golden-bellied Capuchins, White-faced Sakis and Red Howler Monkeys all together in a single exhibit. The visitor area has a mini-bridge that continues into the primate exhibit in a neat display of immersive architecture. Here's my photo from 2019:

@Dianamonkey

Allwetterzoo Munster (Germany) has Golden-bellied Capuchins in an exhibit with an overhead metal pathway that leads from an older enclosure to a newer forested area.

There are 3 other capuchin species that I've seen in very small numbers.

Los Angeles Zoo (USA) has had Crested Capuchins for many years, resulting in offspring such as this little monkey:

@Julio C Castro

Santa Ana Zoo (USA) has also kept Crested Capuchins for a long time.

When I first visited Denver Zoo (USA) in 2006, I came across Hooded Capuchins in the 1908 Monkey House:

And the capuchins had access to this famous old island exhibit, which they shared with Crested Screamers and American Pelicans for years.

In 2019, I was surprised to come across Wedge-capped Capuchins at Berlin Zoo (Germany), of course a zoo known worldwide for its immense animal collection.

You didn't see White-fronted Capuchin at Special Memories?

 

[snowleopard]

You didn't see White-fronted Capuchin at Special Memories?

I listed the species as White-fronted Capuchin when I visited Special Memories Zoo in 2018 and here's the ghastly little cage for the monkeys:

However, that Wisconsin zoo is notorious for not even knowing the species in their own collection, hence putting two different types of macaque together in the same cage! I wasn't sure I could trust their signage.

Also, so many contrasting websites have all the mammal 'splits' and 'lumps' as a total mess, in my opinion. Several primate species have gone from full species, to multiple subspecies, or been extensively revised over the years. It's one of the main reasons why, up until this year, I never compiled a master species list for myself. Klipspringers are a perfect example, with no one seeming to definitively know how many species or subspecies there happen to be. It will likely change 5 more times in the future.

I lumped all the White-fronted Capuchins that I've come across under White-faced, but perhaps I should differentiate between the two. What do you think? Looking through the ZooChat gallery, I would have seen White-fronted Capuchins at zoos such as Special Memories, DeYoung Family, Omaha, Boise and San Diego.

I don't know much about primate taxonomy, but the White-fronted Capuchins look pretty different from the white-faced to my eyes, at least. Of course, I have no idea how to tell apart the Panamanian and Columbian White-faced Capuchins.

So that's what that building looked like! The cages are completely gone now. Monkey Island is also empty.

Moving on to Francois' Langurs, my first surprise was that in visiting 120 European collections I only ever saw the species twice. In fact, these monkeys aren't found in great numbers anywhere. My gut feeling is that these primates are not as common as they used to be and Zootierliste currently lists only 26 zoos worldwide with the species. Every time I've seen this type of langur it's been at a prominent, accredited zoo and I've therefore never seen the species at any of the hundreds of non-accredited facilities I've been to. Just like with mangabeys, langurs appear to only be managed by the well-established zoos of the world.

My first encounter with Francois' Langurs was at San Francisco Zoo (USA) in 2006, with the primates in one of the high, brutalist-style enclosures at that zoo's Monkey House.

@TheoV

Taronga Zoo (Australia) still has Francois' Langurs in their Asian 'precinct':

@Coquinguy

@WhistlingKite24

Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium (USA) currently houses Francois' Langurs together with Malayan Tapirs inside the cavernous Lied Jungle building.

@Pleistohorse

But Omaha used to also house this langur species in with their orangutans:

@GraysonDP

Mesker Park Zoo (USA) had a number of rarities when I was there in 2010, including a tall, well-furnished exhibit for Francois' Langurs.

This enclosure is a bit of an eyesore for Francois' Langurs, and it's found at Como Park Zoo (USA). It's the weakest exhibit at the park.

Woodland Park Zoo (USA) added Francois' Langurs to the collection in 2016, replacing Lion-tailed Macaques in an exhibit in the zoo's Asian loop.

@Northwest_FIsh_Keeping

Diergaarde Blijdorp (Netherlands) was where I first saw the species in Europe:

@felis silvestris

And that leaves Pairi Daiza (Belgium) as the second European zoo where I saw Francois' Langurs. Look at those teeth!

@Joker1706

@Pertinax

It's remarkable to come across a Francois' Langur infant, which I've been fortunate enough to do on at least a couple of occasions. Their bright orange appearance is in stark contrast to the black hair of their parents.

No Francois' Langur at Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, IL, or were they acquired after your visit?

I was at Miller Park Zoo on August 8th, 2014, and they didn't have Francois' Langurs at that time.
