Colobus you are correct this animal is definitely a Mangabey and as there are other known White Collared Mangabeys in private ownership in the USA I agree with you entirely.

Not sure why people think it’s a Macaque?
 
A pity such individuals are not included in a breeding programme, as the fate of mangabeys in West Africa appears black

Sorry - we were being completely misled by them being labelled as 'grey-arm macaque' - honestly never occured to me to think they would be that far out! Just shows, never believe what you're told!
 
To be fair - I have another photo later elsewhere in this gallery that's of a monkey labeled white collared mangabay. I didn't have a photo of a sign to go with this monkey and the photos weren't clear which is why I didn't post them originally. But when the discussion came up on the sloth photo, I thought this must be the gray armed macaque, given the short tail and the light gray coloring on the front of the arms.
