monkeys

hello ZooChat! long time no see, I forgot my password (and the fact I had an account) for a while, was very very busy as well. back in January, I went to visit relatives in Peru and got to revisit Parque de las Leyendas in Lima, the most comprehensive zoo in Peru. I used to go here and Huachipa...

hello all! i have been doing some research about all the zoos in america and europe who inhabited proboscis monkeys. i know apenhaul had received some from singapore, and then eventually sent their last male back to singapore. my question is, how did they transport them there and back? what...

Hello, I'm hoping to start travelling to some zoos in mainland Europe (from the UK) next year. My first trip will include Antwerp to (hopefully) see the Eastern gorilla, and possibly Pairi Diaza/others. I'm looking for zoos with good enclosures and a decent collection of primates, bonus if they...

A thread for asking about walk-through exhibits, after the excellent thread of @snowleopard showed a number of zoos keeping sitatunga in walkthrough paddocks. Are there any walk-through exhibits with any gazelle species?

What examples of wild monkeys living on the grounds of zoos in Asia and South America do you know? Any problems with visitors? Problems with zoo animals in collection? Any particular solutions?

Many of you know me for my population lists as I've created quite a few of those but this time around I decided to tackle a slightly different and more challenging project! I've spent the last few weeks trying to put together a list of all the holders of primate species in North America. In...

This is the sixth installment (only one more to go after this) in a series of polls based on the IUCN 25 Most Endangered Primates. This time featuring the larger New World monkeys mentioned in the document which will go head to head in this poll. Zoochatters can vote based on the primate...

Out of curiosity does anyone know whether the brown howler monkey (Alouatta guariba) is currently being kept in any of the European zoos ? I think that Jersey zoo may have (or did have) long term plans to keep this species and I believe there are zoos in Belgium and the Netherlands that...

Hey Zoochatters, I thought it would be an interesting concept to create a series of threads similar to those in other country / region forums on this site discussing different species kept across the region of Latin America ( I know Mexico is North America but it is included in this thread as...

Following the success of Big Cats, the BBC Natural History Unit is making a follow-up series: Primates. The three episodes will focus on primate diversity, behaviour, and science/conservation respectively. Filming begins this summer and the program will air in 2020.

Primates in Peril: The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates 2016-2018 was launched on Tuesday. The list is not intended as a scientific ranking of the most threatened species, but a publicity tool to generate support and awareness. It purposefully covers a wide geographic and taxonomic range. The...

Hey all, new here. Surprised there's no discussion for the Zoo in Forest Park in Mass. Especially with the sad news regarding the passing of two monkeys this week due to a power outage in frigid temperatures. Anyone know anything about this? Looking to learn more about the Zoo as I had heard...

Here is a link to a photograph I took at Dierenpark Amersfoort with some description about the baboons. I like the atmosphere of the Ancient City and how it gives a history lesson. This exhibit offers a great opportunity to photograph baboons. Anne Berry Menagerie: Baboons on Sphinxes
