According to ISIS, Mulhouse houses 0.1 red-backed bearded Saki (Chiropotes Chiropotes). The holding of 0.1 Uta Hicks' bearded saki (Chiropotes Utahickae) has been removed from ISIS (where, i thought, it was listed as Chiropotes Satanas btw). I'm pretty sure no animals where ever exchanged, but i do feel their holding in ISIS has changed. Does anyone know anything about this story/animal? Has it been redefined as a red-backed bearded saki or was it always listed as such on ISIS and do i remember it wrong?
I think it was always listed as Chiropotes chiropotes - the record predates the species being split and has never been updated. (the Colchester and Belfast animals listed are 'proper' C. chiropotes, of course).
Could very well be, I probably just never noticed it untill the imported animals showed up... Thanks anyways
