I think you will find that Adelaide is keeping with the Duskies because they had them, are breeding successfully and have a nice rainforest exhibit mixed with the tapir and otters. Francois were not on the cards when the exhibit was built, but Adelaide's 'possible' long-term view is to delete Duskies in favour of Francois when they become more freely available, or possibly manage two species.

I'm not sure why Australian zoos need to have the 'either colobus or guenons' philosophy. It is unlikely that the region would manage a self-sustaining population of either (+/- 30 individuals is the usual ballpark). More to the point many zoos in US/Europe would maintain both species in the same exhibt.
