Apenheul Primate Park Woolly Monkey

[Pacarana]

Do any ZooChatters know what species of woolly monkey Apenhuel has. Even though Woolly Monkeys in general are hard to get what, is the most common species in zoos?


Thank you

Why not check Zootierliste? Many questions here on this forum could be answered by a 20 second search on that brilliant website. However, this time I have done it for you.

1.0 Silvery woolly monkey (Lagothrix poeppigii)
0.3 Brown woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagotricha)

The silvery woolly monkey (Lagothrix poeppigii) named "Maron" is their breeding male. He came to Apenheul after being confiscated at the airport so his origin is unknown (but presumably wild caught).

Thank you. I have never herd of the website before.

I'd heard of it before but only recently found out that there is an English version. I've wasted far too much time today checking former holdings of certain species and have now come to the conclusion that London zoo has held pretty much everything! It's a great site.
