Gorillas are easy going. If anything was to start, it would probably rather be due to the Patas Monkeys, but I think they're not the most bold and gutsy of all monkeys. I think Colobus monkeys are more gutsy, and I think it cost one of them his life when they were kept with Gorillas at Howletts some years ago (possibly still are?)
Even so, the exhibit is big enough for the two species to avoid each other totally if need be.
The outdoor exhibit is easily big enough for one or two more guenon or small monkey species to be added, such as DeBrazza's monkey, diana monkey, colobus monkey, etc.

Why not read the posts above? As stated in the first post the gorillas and patas monkys share this enormous exhibit and you can even see both species together in this photo
