They were only suposted to have 35 of them but ended up with more

Im sure they didnt

monkey world website said they came from various pet trades and also a few collections in sweden and denmark (i never heard that they came from howletts) but i might be wrong

I am almost certain the core group came from apenheul and then there were three 'rescued' animals added, together with the births they've had, making up the current group.

I'd be rather surprised if Howletts sent any animals (e.g. Woolly Monkeys) to Monkey World- it just doesn't seem like them to do so..

quote from Monkey World site (bit out of date)

We have rescued two Woolly Monkeys from the illegal pet trades in Spain and Britain and another was confiscated and sent to us from the island of St Martin. Most of our woolly monkeys came to us from Apenheul Primate Park in Holland

sorry, but no metion of port lymne/howletts
