Geoffroy's spider monkeys

Geoffroy\'s spider monkeys reaching out for little pieces of banana thrown up by a keeper below - Julio, pictured left, is afraid of hanging by his tail.

Nice Spider monkey pictures FrancoiseLangur and nice to see you have been at this monkey Centre ! there have been some discusions about the number of species kept at this centre and now you have been there, can you please tell us which species you have seen ? Thanks for that !

Thanks vogelcommando, the current number of primate species at Japan Monkey Centre is 67. They also have one subspecies of Japanese macaque.

I'll be posting a short review of JMC soon - you will find a species list there.

Thank you very much FrancoiseLangur and looking forwart to your review !

did you ever get round to writing a review of the Monkey Centre? I'd be interested in that, and the species list, but I can't see that it was posted yet.

No, not yet - actually, I do have a draft, but I need to revisit the place to verify the correctness of the contents. I think I will have some time to drop by the JMC during my visit to that region in September, so please wait until then.
