Decent size for the 1.1 capuchins and their son (who was born July 2008). It goes quite far back, has a good number of climbing and enrichment devices and is nice and peaceful, but they will be getting a new cage when the zoo expands.

Just for the record it's worth pointing out that these are Buffy-headed Capuchins (Cebus xanthosternos) - a nice animal that being a regular Chester visitor has made me thoroughly blase about!
Shaldon have bred another one of these. It's relatively old news but the new baby was very unexpected due to the male offspring only being about 1 year old at the time of his sisters birth. Was nice watching the two play together during the summer
