White Crowned Mangabey Enclosure

My favourite primate species. I imported a female into the UK from Rome about 14 years ago to start a new breeding group at Flamingoland. Good to see here family group all doing well now.

Bioparco di Roma now really has some nice exhibits.

Find the criticism here and there of this classical zoo somewhat unjustified. They sure have come a long way and the renovations continue.

I think I've been pretty positive - the only things I really didn't like were the Siberian Tiger enclosure and the Monkey Rock - no doubt excellent in their time but not big enough by modern standards. They could reduce the number of Japanese Macaques but who would want them?

Overall impressions were good and I certainly enjoyed my visit!

I can think of a collection or two that would cherish the opportunity to hold such an interesting primate!

On an island perhaps in the middle of a lake.......
