I don't believe I have seen red-faced spider monkeys in other collections before. Are they in any AZA facility?
I don’t believe so, as the species is very rare in North America. I’m not sure where they could have received them from, but it probably isn’t that credible.
I don't know of any place in the USA that holds them, AZA or not.

I saw one years ago at Brookfield, but they don’t have the species anymore
I don't understand why they'd spend a lot of money importing the species - which is what I am assuming happened - when they could likely get other spider monkeys for much cheaper. (It isn't like most visitors are going to appreciate one species over the other.)
Hey, I’m not complaining! I would hope they could do something similar to what they’ve done with the Javan Langur.
I found out where the missing melanistic Amur leopard cub is: Panther Ridge Conservation Center in Florida. Her name is Mischa.

Since they say "wildlife park", I'd guess Safari North, over Hemker.
I'd agree with that guess as Safari North has white tigers posted on their social media and website when I took a quick look.
