Visited on a cold and wet Saturday morning , far from ideal zoo-visiting weather .

It was no surprise to find all the inhabitants of the Small Primate house inside . No sign of grey mouse lemurs but every other group seen . This House has a very nice selection - lovely pileated gibbon pair with baby , pair red titi with baby with pygmy marmosets , De Brazza's monkeys , ring-tailed lemurs , grey mouse lemurs , king colobus , a mix of red-fronted lemur with squirrel monkey and white-faced saki .

Three De Brazza monkeys seen , none particularly large , certainly no adult male present .

This really is a lovely group of monkeys . There were 4 babies , 3 previously reported as born December 2013 , plus a smaller one . Apart from the sleeping male , there was lots of action , particularly the younger animals . Not certain of exact number in group , think 13 or 14 , they did not keep still to count and whole inside area could not be seen .
