The pairs are very seldom rotated. One pair was kept behind the scenes to measure the difference in stress levels compared to the on-show pair, though there was barely any difference at all.
Before the separate enclosure was finished (2011 I believe?) a pair of blue-eyed black lemurs was kept in the walk-through with all the other lemurs while the red-bellied lemurs were combined with the sifakas. The only time they succesfully bred was during this period.
The father of bonobo Kikongo (who recently moved to Planckendael with his mother and older brother from Apenheul) has been confirmed as being Bolombo, the male who remains at Apenheul.
Maybe because the results in Apenheul with difficult lemurs like sifaka are way better than Mulhouses.
It also cannot be denied that for every single other primate species the facilities in in Apenheul are way better than in Mulhouse...
