Guenon Monkeys in UK Zoos.

Wouldn`t think Talapoin Monkeys in a walk through would be a good idea as i believe Chester got rid of their group after they attacked a keeper cleaning the enclosure,but Chestrer still maintain the stud-book for the species!!!!!!!!!

I didn't know that (as you may have guessed :)). It's still a pity that they aren't around any more. It can't be that hard to manage them, or can it?

Just seen how many guenons San diego has:

3.3 Schmidt's spot nosed
1.0 Campbell's
1.0 Diana
4.6 L'hoest''s 2 born in last 6 months
2.3 debrazza
4.6 lesser spot nosed
2.1 wolf's guenon

They are doing very well with this group of Species. They did used to keep Hamlyn's Guenon as well.
 
Why is it that guenons in this country all seem to have individuals in their groups with half, or a quarter of their tails missing? I had assumed maybe frost or lack of humidity for tropical species, but I've even seen quite a few vervets with this problem.

I've always assumed it was from frostbite. Its most common in the very short-coated species(that's most of them...) You rarely see it in De Brazza's which have a longer thicker coat. The group at Port Lympne are all in perfect condition. I think their Dianas may have some 'stumptails' though.
 
That's interesting, the certainly have been past De Brazzas at P.L. with parts of their tails missing. I wonder what made the difference in the current groups.
 
Well, I'll amend that slightly... I THINK all of PL's De Brazzas have full tails now.
They have a smaller group(trio?) at Howletts too, which I don't remember seeing so I can't comment on those. Port Lympne's group seems to have grown very rapidly, it was only a few years ago that the 'main' group was just a pair with their two offspring. (There was another pair or two as well). I guess the family turned into the group, and the others were moved to Howletts? I've always found it quite difficult to keep track fully of the different groupings(all species) which are shared between the two parks though...
 
Hello,

I have some questions regarding guenons in the UK.

Anyone which happens to know which subspecies of Cercopithecus ascanius Twycross Zoo have? not found any info which regarding which subspecies they keep.

Also if someone knows which subspecies of Cercopithecus campbelli that Chester keeps.

Hope someone that has seen either would be able to tell me abit about them:rolleyes:
 
I wasn't aware of any Campbell's Guenon subspecies. I think the group at Chester came from London Zoo.
 
I just saw some photos in media of mixed Drill and Wolfs Guenon in US zoos, and wondered about the current status of Guenon in the UK? Obviously Twycross used to house them….

Twycross still have three species; De Brazza's (circa 8?), Diana(6) L'Hoest's(7). They also used to have Hamlyn's Owl-faced(no longer) also Crowned(single) and Lesser(?) Spot-nosed (pair) but neither any longer afaik.
Colchester have L'Hoest's(number unknown)
Howlett's/PL have De Brazza's (groups, number now unknown). Also used to have Diana and Samango, no longer either of these I don't think.
Paignton has Diana(3)
London has Diana (2?)
Edinburgh have/had Diana(number unknown but small nowadays)
Chester has/had a pair of Campbell's Mona but current status unknown.
IOW sanctuary has a single Red-tailed (ex Twycross).
Porfell's Wildlife Sanctuary (Cornwall) had/has a pair of De Brazza's(from Bristol).

I'd be interested if anyone can correct, update or add more to this list.
 
Yorkshire Wildlife Park have 4 Roloways - breeding pair and 2 young.
Monkey World has I think 4 Red-Bellied, again breeding pair and 2 young.
