Scanned San Diego Zoo Photos 1992-2001

Red-shanked douc langur (Pygathrix nemaeus)
What a beautiful photograph of a beautiful creature. I am really enjoying your uploads of old SD zoo Giant Eland! Thankyou so much! You wouldn't happen to know what happened to the Douc Langur at the zoo?
 
I believe the animals didn't breed well, and eventually when SD was down to its final 1 or 2 animals they were sent to Philadelphia to be with last remaining Doucs in the country.
 
Thankyou! I would have thought they would have come to San Diego for climatic reasons! What year did they leave?
