Delacour's Langur at EPRC Cuc Phuong, 10/03/12

[i]Trachypithecus delacouri[/i] Critically endangered Vietnamese endemic that I was to have the privilege of seeing in the wild later in the trip. The total population is no more than 200-250 individuals and falling. The Centre\'s resident animals are rescues that are unable to be released; as many as possible are released into semi-wild enclosures and ultimately to the wild in the national park.

      Is there any zoos which has the Delacour's Langur, except for this primate center?

      I honestly dont know the answer, but If I had to guess, unfortunately I doubt it

      No worries - they are fantastic creatures - I still can't quite believe my luck to see them wild as well (http://www.zoochat.com/1775/van-long-nature-reserve-13-03-a-294614/).


      As far as our guide at the centre knew, the species has never been kept anywhere else (not long-term anyway).
    There are no comments to display.
