Patas Monkeys and Black Servals

[Grant Rhino]

Hi everyone

Does anyone know of any zoo in Australia which houses Patas Monkeys?

Im also interested in seeing a live black serval (same melanism as a black panther). Do any Australian zoos have them?

Cheers, Grant

there aren't any patas left in Australia (the nearest ones are in New Caledonia now).

For black servals you will have to go to Africa. The Aberdares are a good spot.

For mammals in Australian zoos, see CGSwans' thread: http://www.zoochat.com/24/exotic-mammals-each-australian-zoo-123597/

As far as I know there are none of either in the country. Patas have been kept here in the past, now the nearest are probably in New Caledonia. Don't know if there have ever been black servals here.

This thread will help you find exotic mammals in Australian zoos: http://www.zoochat.com/24/exotic-mammals-each-australian-zoo-123597/
