Silvered Leaf Monkey Troop

JungleWorld: Silvered Leaf Monkeys. July 13, 2019. Spot last year's newest member to the troop?

@ThylacineAlive Was this the enclosure where there was that notorious incident of a monkey being killed by a group of short clawed otters?

@Onychorhynchus coronatus No that was the Javan Langur enclosure, aka the former Proboscis Monkey enclosure. I think this space has pretty much always held Silvered Leaf Monkeys and no otters. Some freeflight birds occasionally enter this space, however.

@ThylacineAlive It was a tragic case, poor old langur, I do hope the zoo has learned the lesson there and no longer keeps the two species together.

@Onychorhynchus coronatus Yes, otters have not been mixed with the langurs since that incident. The zoo is down to 0.2 very elderly langurs now, though To be replaced with Francois's Langur I believe (at least they are bringing this species in from LA)

@Onychorhynchus coronatus oh, that incident was uploaded to YouTube and got 3M views

@felis silvestris Yep I saw it a while ago and thought it was very unfortunate what happened.
