Home to what I understand to be the only Agile Mangabeys outside Africa.

Fading away, I fear.

Interestingly, I've just noticed since posting this that according to Zootierliste there is a single individual in the unlikely-sounding Sochi Monkey Nursery, so they may not be unique.
 
Photo reminds me rather of the rare Golden-bellied Mangabey pair at Port Lympne which I saw again just a month or so back,- they have never bred since they have had them- the male is very geriatric, (if he's still alive) and no further animals have ever been added to try to promote breeding-a problem in obtaining more animals or a lack of interest after getting them initially? A bit of both I suspect.
 
Did you see only 2 animals?

Yes, just the two. I'm sure there were at least twice that number when I was last at Epe in 2004.
