Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre Monkey World news 2015-2017

Woolly monkey Ayla has given birth to her first baby a few months ago, unfortunately she didn't care for him. He has been named Cosmo (if I remember correctly) and will be with his family as soon as possible.
 
Not strictly Monkey World any more but still of interest. Hsaio-Ning the Bornean orangutan born to RoRo and Tuan (both ex-Taiwan) is confirmed by Rostock Zoo to be pregnant. Fingers crossed she will look after it. I was hoping that Miri from Twycross would have the first baby in the group, however she recently moved to their other orangutan group.

1.1 Golden Cheeked Gibbon's - Male, Mikado (b2010 at Doue La Fontaine) and female, Tia-Nang (b2009 at Monkey World) were recently moved to Parc Animalier Sainte Croix in France
 
Sadly Ben, a Monkey World born chimp who lived in the bachelor group died one day short of his 16th birthday a couple of weeks ago. He was an magnificent-looking chimpanzee who was in his prime.

Any ideas on the reasons?
 
Very sad to hear about Hsiao-Quai. She was a great mother both biologically and adoptively ;(
 
It appears two new male stump-tailed macaques arrived at the park recently. Named Toto and Freddie. Only source I can find is a single Facebook post dated 15th September.

Does mention more details to come in the upcoming 'ape rescue chronicle' though.

They have been there a few months and are successfully integrated with the other macaques.
On a recent visit I noticed for the very first time what the stump-tail actually looks like! :)

I may have seen them then! Would they have been there's in August?

It is a bit strange that MW haven't really been posting news as recently. No announcement on either Hsiao-quai or the new Macaques (the fb post wasn't really an announcement).

Yes they would, apparently they've been there getting on for a year. Initially they were separate in the enclosure George (ringtail) and Mica (patas monkey) used to live in on the left hand/top side of the stumpy house. They were there when I was there in June.

George and Mica now live up at the top of the park.
 
Ah yes, I did see George and Mica up by the Marmosets and Woollys.

I may have seen them because I did see a few Stumpies that were more golden and less 'mouldy' XD looking than the rest. From that FB post they looked slightly younger than the rest.

Thanks for the info :)

You'd know if you saw Toto, he has a very bouffant glam-rock hairstyle!
