- Start date
A sensible decision, which should have been made years ago.
According to South West news last night visitors have a 'last chance to see' them at Newquay this weekend so possibly finally moving next week? Its taken a long time.
Assuming this is referring to the enclosure next to the crowned lemur and bokiboky - it has been repurposed and now holds golden lion tamarin.

At the start of this month a White-faced capuchin (Cebus capucinus) was born.
Recently a new species arrived at the zoo, namely the Western black-crowned crane (Balearica pavonina pavonina). Two cranes named 'Turnip' and 'Swede' arrived at the zoo.

Does anyone know if captive White-Faced Capuchins are hybrids or a specific species? They are quite rare in the UK but I'm wondering what their genetic makeup is.
The white-faced capuchin is a species (Cebus capucinus)
Not if you consider the conclusions of Boubli et al., 2012, to be valid (not all authorities do);
Cebus phylogenetic relationships: a preliminary reassessment of the diversity of the untufted capuchin monkeys - PubMed
Unfortunate names for such regal birds. I wonder if they’re the same pair that used to live on the lake, and may have gone to Paignton with the White Storks……

This is great news, this species is extremely evolutionary distinct, critically endangered and also was previously only held in one UK zoo (London). I hope this is the start of more zoos getting this species.
