Golden snub-nosed monkeys

Are there any golden snub-nosed monkeys outside Japan, Korea and China?

 

none outside those countries

 

I saw them in Dublin Zoo a few years ago.

 

Couldn't believe there where some in Europe but Zootierliste indeed mentions Dublin as former keeper of the species ! Some were on loan from Peking from March 1987 to September 1987 at Dublin !

 

By the way, also an American collection - if I remember rigth San Diego - had some for a while.

 

There were golden snub-nosed monkeys several times in US and Canada zoos on loan in 1986 - 87 - 88 years: Columbus, LA, Minnesota, Toronto. The last San Diego animal died in 2008.

 

As I remember it Dublin was trying to get giant pandas and the monkeys were a bit of a compromise. But the zoo made the best of it. I remember a huge ad campaign supporting the loan. They had billboard posters at the airport and all over Dublin.

 

Any outside China in SE / NE Asian countries?

 

Kifaru, see post #2. In the past; yes. Today; no.

 

There is a female pair in Ocean Park Hong Kong, but they're technically part of China.

 

oops, misread your post Kifaru (thought you asked if there were any outside China and NE/SE Asia). In addition to the ones in Hong Kong, there's a group at Everland in South Korea. It has also bred there in recent years.
