Bolivians - no Commons left now.

Are most pure?

Oh ok, I see in the description of this photo (http://www.zoochat.com/14/otter-267641/) that the otters have swapped, the family (4 otters) is now in the newer enclosure next to the tigers, while the two females are now in the macaque enclosure.

Still would like to know what the plans are for the future of these guys, will they stay as two groups or be merged? I can't see anywhere for a second group to be housed on-display if not with the squirrel monkeys.

at the moment the squirrel monkeys are on display in the morning and the two otters in the afternoon (it's a time-share). I think when they have settled in then both species will be housed together.

The bonnet macaques are probably going to be housed permanently off-display at the zoo.

when the squirrel monkeys first arrived in NZ it was asked which zoo they had come from, and that wasn't answered conclusively by anyone. I just discovered they all came from Zoo Park Metelen in Germany. (Small news I know, but worth adding to the thread nevertheless )
