30) Japanese macaque ( see Japanese macaque | ZooChat )

and again missed a good number of species ! The Potto was in his box and didn't show up all day long - checked this at least 5 times during the day ), the Diana monkey's - which share the enclosure with the Gorilla's were unvisible and from the Geoffroy's marmoset and the Red-bellied tamarins I'm not sure if they are still kept at all - maybe some other ZooChatter with more information about that ?

 

The mangabeys don't have a visible indoor enclosure. The gibbons are in the same building as the siamang, langur and macaque and are normally visible in the back row of cages. But there is also more space behind the visible area...

For a small collection "De Oliemeulen" in Tilburg - the Netherlands - surtainly has a nice primate-collection with no less then 7 species. 2 of the species I saw on my visit today, I had already seen at other collections this year ( ring-tailed lemur and cotton-top tamarin ), for 2 others the weather today was to cold and didn't show-up in their out-door enclosure, the White-faced saki - which I had already seen at Artis and the Common marmoset, which had been a new one for the challenge but I'm quite sure I will see this species later this year at this or at another zoo..
The remaining 3 species are new ones for this year :
31) Geoffroy's marmoset ( see Geoffroy's marmoset | ZooChat )
32) Common squirrel monkey ( see Common squirrel monkey | ZooChat )
33) White-faced capucin ( see White-faced capucin | ZooChat )

 

And two more additions from Plock Zoo:

40) Japanese Macaque

The 2 Mangabey species and the Green Monkey are all lifers for me

Missed ( as far as I know ) 3 more species: Black and white ruffed lemur - enclosure seen but due to the weather stayed inside, Northern white-cheeked gibbon, also stayed inside and the Red-bellied tamarin from which I didn't found out where they should be kept.

Paradise Wildlife Park

46 Lar Gibbon
47 Northern White-cheeked gibbon
48 Black Lemur
49 Black-tailed Marmoset
50 Silvery Marmoset

 

Went today to Dierenpark Amersfoort to visit the 1 week old Asian elephant-calf Yunha but payed of course also some attention to the other animals kept at this zoo !
For the European Zoochat Challenge I found 4 new species :
37) Yellow-breasted capuchin ( see Yellow-breasted capuchin | ZooChat )
38) Hamadryas baboon ( see Hamadryas baboon | ZooChat )
39) Black and white ruffed lemur
40) Senegal bushbaby ( see Senegal bushbaby | ZooChat )

As far as I know I missed 2 species which would have been new ones ( Red-bellied lemur and Crowned lemur ) but both species are kept also at other collections which are on the plan for this year.
For the Crowned lemurs I found the sign but not the animals themself, for the Red-bellied lemur I didn't even found the sign, so don't know if this species still is being kept at Amersfoort.

30. Bornean orangutan (Madrid)
31. Mandrill (Madrid)
32. Black-capped capuchin (Madrid)

Ordinarily I wouldn't post an update for a single species but this one probably would have slipped my mind again had I let it.
