What are the primates in the enclosure opposite the zoo's main entrance?

I have it in my head that they are Javan Langurs, though I can't find any mention of them on the zoo website! Any information on them?

Also wondering if anyone knows whether it's looking likely the Gibbons will breed anytime soon - from what I can gather from the press releases when they arrived, that seemed to be the intention!

Thanks a lot :)

Yes they are Javan langurs, I don't think they are labled on the map, no idea why.

I seem to recall they were marked out on the map ..., just it took a while for us to realise (being at the immediate front of the zoo). One would expect some high profile pond habitat for flamingos or whatever (this being immediately across from the Javan langurs).

I would hope they will find a more appropriate setting for this fascinating colobine primate at the Wildlife Conservation Park in the S.E. Asia section with orangs, Malayan tapirs and Sumatran tiger. :)
