if you don't like New Zealanders perhaps you should just keep that to yourself for once boof. Making fun of people because of where they come from or what accent they have is neither funny nor clever. I have noticed that it is only Australians that do this on this forum.

Free ranging small primates would be a good idea except for the issues of disease which make it quite risky. Not to mention what has already been said about people trying to steal them.
As for why more zoos in Oz don't have more common marmosets or even emperor tamarins, they are actually a lot harder to get a hold of than you realize. |

in this thread http://www.zoobeat.com/17/new-new-zealand-news-16119/ there was the implication that the emperor tamarins had had babies...any updates on this? Did it happen or not?

I have sent an email to Wellington Zoo asking about this .
Dont hold your breath for too long -- their responses are not always helpful . I also asked them for details of the sex of any offspring that might have been born , as they normally wouldnt think of including this detail unless you specifically ask them ...... |

Response from Wellington Zoo
30-06-2008
Nigel,
Our Emperor Tamerins only arrived this year. We hope to breed them but have not been successful quite yet. Regards, I like the phrase "quite yet" ...... perhaps they will mate this evening ? But given the zoos historic track record for breeding primates , I think there will be sucess sooner or later ( One of the few VERY good things about this zoo ) |
