Thank you, lintworm. Is is kept alone or maybe together with small primates ?

For the moment it's kept alone in a rather darkened exibit in the Small Monkey House, last one before leaving the building. I saw it last friday very well.
A combination with galago or potto should be possible.

Thank you,Phillipine Eagle.How dark is his exhibit-is it possible doing Pictures without flashlight ?To Keep it toghether with galago or potto would mean to Keep them in a nocturnal exibit-anyway-does Antwerp still has Potto, maybe in Nocturama ?
 
He's currently held in this exhibit, in the small monkey house. I don't think you would need a flashlight to photograph it.

As for the Potto, Zootierliste states a lone male, presumably in Nocturama.

Visited Antwerp Zoo yesterday. Lots of changes and construction going on.
Recent births :
2 White-rumped shamas
1 Yellow knobbed currasow
the young Owl-faced monkey was already exploring it exhibit
at least 3 Blue spiny iguanas
x Egyptian tortoise(s)
The new wader-aviary and Penguin-enclosure both looked fine but a pitty that a lot of aviaries had to put down for this !
Walk-through aviary next to the Hippo-house closed due to contructionwork.
Walk-through reptile-hall closed due to contructionwork ( new roof ).
Constructionwork on the new coral-reef aquarium still going on.
The old wintergarden next to the monkey-house has transformed into a butterfly walk-through.
Loads of rain this day but evenso a very enjoyable experience !
 
The Reptile-walk through ( entrance to the Reptile-building ) opened again. Init there are 11 Green iguanas, 13 African spurred tortoises and 9 different bird-species ( about 20 specimens ). Among the birds also the Fischer's touraco.
 
Antwerp has become for their male Black and rufous sengi called Gijsje a female which is called Guusje :).
