Hello do you know if there is a place where most of the world's monkeys are kept, a bit like the duke center but for all monkeys?
Or a zoo with a lot of monkeys?

I know the valley of the monkeys or apenheul but there must be centers or zoos which have more monkeys right?
 
Yes so it is not really a good breeding place.

Another question also: which zoos can accommodate proboscis monkey ?
 
I doubt if any zoo has kept most of the world's known monkeys at any one time; this was mainly due to some leaf monkeys and New World monkeys to be difficult to keep in captivity until relatively recently when many zoos keep fewer species than before. There are zoos that have kept most of the known species of small groups of monkeys, such as sakis and uakaris in Cologne's South America House and mangabeys in the Paris Menagerie. In the last few years, the number of species of monkeys have increased due to discoveries and splitting. I doubt if any zoo would now exhibit most species, even in a specialist collection.
 
Okay thank you I know little about the zoos and parks in this region, I will find out.

We can therefore confirm that Apenheul is the best place to observe all kinds of monkeys in good conditions.

After the success of the breeding of doucs in Chleby and the imminent arrival at Beauval of doucs from Bangkok, can we imagine a return of the proboscis monkey ?

Some of these are not present anymore. The animal with gray colour is now gone.
 
Thank you for all these lists.
JMC has more but in less good condition than Apenheul or the valley.
The valley was talking about orangutans not so long ago, do we know where it is?
And another question you prefer: The valley or Apenheul?


I was also thinking about Chester. It is undoubtedly one of the zoos on which we can count to see some in Europe one day ... as well as Beauval.;)
