Barbary Macaque

I was under the impression there were about none in North America?

@dillotest0 you’re not totally wrong, but there are still a few hanging on in a few facilities. I believe these macaques are either decedents or former members of the Toronto group. @TZFan is the foremost expert on this, so I will let them educate us

Lol I wouldn't say I was the foremost expert on Barbary macaques in the slightest bit. However I do know Toronto still has at least 1, possibly 2 elderly females. They are off display and have been for oh the better part of a decade. At least some if not all of the macaques at Safari Niagara are from Toronto's group. When they shut down the Eurasia section at Toronto for a revamp they knew they didn't want to keep the group. The younger healthier 4-6 of them were given to Safari Niagara. The two elderly females werent fitting in well with the group anymore and just not healthy enough to risk a move so they stayed on.

If you want to know if any other zoo or sanctuary in Canada or the US has the species? Not a clue.

@TZFan I knew you’d have the answer! Thanks

@animalman0341 glad I had just barely enough info to help. It is a species I know very little about.

@TZFan I think there might be one or two other holders in Canada, but in the United States there are zero holders of barbary macaque.
