Red-shanked Douc Langur at Cologne, 07/09/10

Pygathrix nemaeus

No matter if there are problems with the declining population in captivity, this animal is such an impressing beauty.
Nice shot!
Adopt me, i'm hungry

these animals are mystical, i want one , not long before i'll be in cologne and i'll get to see these beauties of my own

Red-shanked Doucs are in my opinion one of the most beautiful primates. There's just something about their striking coloration and their deep, black eyes . Unfortunately, it's been years since I've seen one in person.

^i believe the only ones in the USA are at Philadelphia? Hopefully it won't be long before more zoo's begin trying to import them, and cologne can built up a good breeding group, possibly include some new blood.

Yes, Philadelphia is currently the only holder of the species in the United States, however all of my experiences with Red-shanked Doucs were while they were kept at the Cincinnati Zoo

how long where they there? :O and when did they leave?

I want to say from 1993 to mid-2000's
