Not sure What to think about the Geladas. To be honest I think they would be better at Africa Alive!

I agree, this does seem to be a strange move. The enclosure seemed fine for the Colobus, but it's not that big for Gelada and will they get through the overhead tunnel?

Im sure the tunnel will be fine just think that the enclosure is much better for coloubus.

The Geladaa arrived Tuesday and are now visible in the old colobus enclosure.

Any idea whether the Geladas came from within UK or from outside-how many and are they males only, or a male/female group?

Pretty sure they've come from Edinburgh, but don't know the group numbers or further details I'm afraid.

 

[banham.tiger]

I have actually been inside the house the geladas are in and im not sure if the indoor accommodation is big enough for geladas.

Any idea whether the Geladas came from within UK or from outside-how many and are they males only, or a male/female group?

They did indeed come from Edinburgh. There are currently 3 males, with another 2 males due to arrive soon.
