I wanted to know the other five zoos in the country that have blue monkeys other than the Pittsburgh zoo
 
Kansas City, Omaha, and Zoo Knoxville. There aren't five others, unless there is some obscure roadside zoo with them. The only other possibility I can find is BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo but I don't think they have the species anymore.

Thanks from what I heard there were six zoos that had blue monkeys Instead of four
 
Last I heard, only KC and Omaha still had them.

Edit: It looks as though Pittsburgh does have them also. News to me.

it may depend on where you "heard" it. As in, how recent the information actually is.

From some judicious googling, Kansas City, Omaha, and Pittsburgh currently have them.

Knoxville and Baton Rouge had them recently, so may or may not still have them.

Caldwell Zoo in Texas had C. m. stuhlmanni previously, as in within the last ten years. Are they still there?

I've seen Blue Monkeys in places like Kansas City (2010), Omaha (2008 and 2012), Caldwell (2010 but I think that they were gone when I went back in 2015), Baton Rouge (2012), etc., and sometimes that species pops up in obscure places. Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari in Arkansas had blue monkeys when I was there in 2015 and I've likely seen the species in perhaps a couple more non-accredited, "roadside" American zoos. However, it is disappointing that such a wonderful species is scarcely available to be viewed anywhere in North America.

Not that recent actually haha
 
what about Safari North Safari Park in Minnesota where a 2022 zoo chat report stated that they had Stulman's blue monkey. as well as this I believe that Omaha does not have them unless they are behind the scenes because when I was there the exhibit it once shared with the wolf's guenon exhibit had a dark next surrounding the exhibit to prevent the visitors from looking in as well as having not signage, now I was still able to clearly see a wolf's guenon so there could still be a chance that they still have them

Omaha still has one with the Wolf's Guenon, I saw it just a month ago. That exhibit hasn't been signed for years and the net has been up for a long time as well. However, the net seems to be getting faded and it is a lot easier to see into now than it used to be.

why is the netting blocked in the first place, obviously if this has been for a while it is not for animals acclimating to their habitat so what
