It is interesting to note that Cleveland Zoo still has at least one Golden-Bellied Mangabey as this species is very much a rarity in American zoos these days.

...Which is exactly why I made sure to take advantage of the prime photo opportunity this individual provided me! They actually still have a pair of golden-bellied mangabeys, this male and a female that happens to be diabetic and is currently the subject of a research project. The Cleveland Zoo is still home to quite a few primates that have become quite rare in zoos; however, unfortunately, most of these relic species are still held in the relic that is the Primate, Cats, and Aquatics building!
