@Onychorhynchus coronatus I did! it was way better than I thought. Fortunately, not even a drop of rain fell in the day . Considering the amount of rain falling these days in SP, I was quite lucky
@Onychorhynchus coronatus Yeah, I definety got impressed by many exhibits. I was walking through São Paulo zoo in street view very often in the last weeks, cause I didn't want to loose anything, even so, the zoo still surprised me. The muriqui exhibit is between the best exhibits in the country.
Unfortunately, due to COVID, my flight on Sunday was canceled and I was changed to another flight, so I had to leave SP way earlier than I thought. This way I could only visit the zoo and aquarium...
@David Matos Mendes Thats great to hear, yes I agree about the muriqui enclosure, though I haven't yet seen the one at Curitiba zoo which is also quite impressive. But in terms of captive breeding it is Sorocaba that is currently leading with the species which I think says a lot.
Thats a shame but I'm sure you will eventually get back to SP in the future and see the buffy tufted marmosets over at Guarulhos.
@Onychorhynchus coronatus Yeah, I heard the muriqui exhibit in Curitiba is pretty nice too. I think Sorocaba's work with them is actually fantastic. By the way, do you have pictures of their exhibits in there?
Yeah, I hope to return to SP soon, to be able to go to Guarulhos, Butantan and the aquarium again, once I could only staye there for one hour, with a chargeless camera
@Onychorhynchus coronatus Their cages in Sorocaba might be pretty usefull for them, as well as the keepers might do an awesome work with enrichment, once they seem to be not only reproductively, but phisically active group too.
@David Matos Mendes They get some excellent care in terms of their diet and veterinary needs and enrichment isn't bad either at Sorocaba. I think this has definitely contributed to the breeding success of their group.
The enclosure itself could be improved (it isn't terrible though) but as always the problem is the lack of resources to do so (always a problem in zoos in Brazil).
I know that if the zoo had more resources at their disposal this would have already been done right away as the Sorocaba team are excellent.
@Onychorhynchus coronatus Yes, I imagine... Once more the lack of public resources is the biggest problem around here... I bet the exhibit in São Paulo could be pretty good for reproduction if they had females too, don't you think? I think it is one of the most modern zoo exhibits in Brazil.
