[2017] Squirrel monkey and bear enclosure

How long has Zoo Antwerp combined Squirrel Monkeys with Andean Bears?

@snowleopard They had squirrel monkeys from 2014 to 2019 in the smaller Spectacled bear exhibit (on the bird house side), in the larger exhibit on the entrance side they mixed Spectacled bears with South American coatis. All the animals moved to other zoos or to off-show housing at Planckendael when the jubilee complex was emptied in late 2019.

@KevinB did they get on well? Did the mix work?

@kate person They kept the mix for five years and I am not aware of any issues that existed. I never personally saw any interaction between the species.
