Yesterday I visited a Birdpark and found 2 new species for the Challenge ! At Vogelpark Avifauna - the Netherlands - a small number of primates is kept ( some lemurs and south american species ).
The 2 new species :

Africa Alive! 1/5/17

66 Senegal Bushbaby
67 Drill
68 King Colobus
69 Golden-bellied Mangabey

 

Just wanted to say that there are 4 fantastic species in that post!

 

Yes, this is definitely an improved primate collection, when you consider only the King Colobus have been there more than 2-3 years and the 3 species replaced were far less impressive: fruit bats, grivet monkey and a lone elderly Chimp.

 

Yesterday Safaripark Beekse Bergen brought me 3 more new species :

43) Northern white-cheeked gibbon ( see Northern white-cheeked gibbon | ZooChat )
44) Red-bellied lemur ( see Red-bellied lemur | ZooChat )
45) Black crested mangabey ( Black-crested mangabey | ZooChat )

 

Visited 4 zoos over the past weekend, though Olching and Alpenzoo Innsbruck don't have any primates, still some interesting additions:

Augsburg

39. Bearded capuchin
40. Bengal slow loris
41. Black lemur
42. Mandrill
43. Hamadryas baboon
44. Senegal bushbaby
45. Pygmy slow loris

Tierpark Hellabrunn

46. Common squirrel monkey
47. Drill
48. Moloch gibbon
49. Red-tailed mustached monkey

I find it interesting that after almost 50 species, I already have most of the gibbons, with the exception of Muellers and Agile, which are rare anyway. But I am also still missing Lar

 

Thought I had better give a bit of an update seeing as I had picked up a couple more

65) Red-handed Tamarin (Saguinus midas) at Camperdown Wildlife Centre
66) Japanes Macaque (Macaca fuscata) at Highland Wildlife Park

Not sure when I will pick any more up but sure I will at some point!
