Oh, ok cheers.
Can you clarify what the Slender Loris is? I was sure it said Gray, but looking on Zootierliste, it says it's a Northern Dry Zone.

Northern Dryzone Slender Loris is a subspecies (Loris lydekkerianus nordicus) of the Gray Slender Loris (Loris lydekkerianus) - as such both the signage and ZTL are correct.

Quick update for all doing this challenge.... I phoned Caehopkin monkey Sanctuary to enquire about what was on show and everything is. However, the Common Mona Monkey is offshow and it is not possible to see it. She is an old lady and frail and timid the keeper said but they have tried several times to put her on show but they said it sent her into a depression and made her really ill so for her own health she will remain off show unfortunately. Everything else it states on tierliste is there however. So everyone may as well scrub that off their to see list unless someone else gets on in. the keeper said there is a video on youtube that shows what she used to be kept in to help people understand why she is kept offshow if anyone is interested

I've just realised that if I don't go to Bristol again this year(wouldn't normally go 2 years running), it's not just AyeAye i will have to rule off my list(unless by some miracle London's go onshow), mouse lemur are probably ruled out too!
 
When i asked a keeper at bristol they said the mongoose lemur had gone to Bristol wildplace?!


37. Crab-eating macaque

After checking information and pictures and a discussion with the people that work at caehopkin we decided they are olive baboons and not western

Thanks, I didn't realise quite as many places have them, Ii knew of Blackpool, though i didn't see them last time i went. Looks like a first trip to Cotswold, would be my best bet, unless I manage to make the day trip to Dudley/BNC, that i intended to do 2 years ago!
