The Sulawesi Crested Macaque cage 1988

This was the second one built for these primates , the first was a very small , white cage.

The fossa now have this space. (I think)

Yes MD they do , before that the De Brazzas were in there aswell. Z

The Fossa exhibit is roughly on the same site, but lets be clear it was purpose-built from scratch for Fossa after a lengthy fundraising campaign.

Thegroup of imported youngsters were originally in a large cage on the left side of the Walled Yard , now home to the Tropical House . This cage also housed the Asian Lions at one time .

Do you know approximately when Marwell had De Brazza's Guenons? also any other details such as how many and whether they bred, and where they went to afterwards.

I believe the de brazzas were at Marwell in two periods, the first group arriving in 1977 and leaving/dying out in the early eighties. The second group arrived some point in the late eighties/early nineties and left by 1998. They were kept either here as mentioned but mainly in a small cage that was converted into the free-ranging tamarin area and is now completely demolished.

Not sure about individuals or where they went off to though.

Weren't the De Brazzas kept in Into Africa at one point, I swear I saw them in there once when I was a child?

You might be thinking of the Hamlyn's Guneons, the De Brazza's left before Into Africa was built.

Ah, thats probably the ones! Thanks.
