Nocturnal Primates in North American Zoos

Can't find said website, but in looking for it I discovered that Paws Farm closed permanently a couple months ago.



Is several years ago 3 or less?



I was able to find those also, what I don't know is what species it is; definitely looks like an Otolemur of some kind, but can't tell if it's Garnett's or a different one.



As I said in my previous post, I'm going to need a source for that, especially since the zoo has the animal signed as Senegal. Has someone identified the animal in-person?

Thanks for your help, everyone. I will post an updated list soon based on the information you have all provided :)

Very unlikely to be lemurinus and more likely to be griseimembra after the split.

Yes, the lemurinus/griseimembra split is especially problematic. I'm considering lumping all potential lemurinus and griseimembra together from now on unless a holder's animals are verified to be one or the other.

Janda Exotics animal ranch in Texas have bushbabies for sale so maybe some unaccredited zoos have them.

There are several with them :) A few with night monkeys, as well; I haven't been looking at primates at all but I've noticed I've glanced at the term more than I was expecting. I'll add theme to this thread when I get a chance.
 
Bushbabies and night monkeys are really common in the private trade. I haven't really looked into any unaccredited zoos, but I've seen a lot of educators and stuff with them.

Capron Park Zoo no longer keeps dourouculi.
 
Sorry for bumping this thread, but I have a few updates.
Hemker Park & Zoo might have Nancy Ma's Night Monkey off-display somewhere.

Memphis now has Pygmy Slow Loris

Minnesota Zoo had a pair of Greater Slow Lorises up until 2017-18, when they were moved to an unknown location. Does anyone know where they went?

There's Night Monkeys all over the place in roadside zoos now. None are IDed at the species level and they're rarely seen, given they're *night* monkeys.

Most are Nancy Ma's nowadays it seems, although other taxa do pop up every once in a while.
