After a break of more then 29 ( ! ) years I finaly visited Ouwehands Dierenpark yesterday agian . Wunderfull zoo but only one enclosure remind me somewhat from memories from the 1988-visit ( the white-handed gibbon-enclosure, the rest had all changed.
A nice collection of primates but failed to find the tersier . 2 of the species are new for the Challenge :
67) Roloway monkey ( see Young Roloway monkey | ZooChat)
68) Red-bellied tamarin ( see Red-bellied tamarin | ZooChat )

 

Four zoos into my German trip and I'm behind where I thought I'd be. Some of these zoos are really underperforming on the primate front.

It's been about five months since my last additions, but here are a few from last week from some zoos in Devon (Living Coasts, Paignton, Exmoor)

44) Black and Gold Howler Monkey
45) Bornean Orangutan
46) Mandrill
47) Cherry-crowned Mangabey
48) Brown Spider Monkey

No visit to Shaldon? That's a primate hot spot!

 

Zoo Antwerpen

105) Owl-faced monkey (Cercopithecus hamlyni)
106) Humboldt's night monkey (Aotus trivirgatus)
107) Eastern gorilla (Gorilla beringei)

 

Didn't make it to Shaldon unfortunately. My visit to Devon was a holiday with the extended family so all the zoos were a bonus. I was quite lucky to get to Paignton actually because I was staying in North Devon but in Torquay for a day since that was the family day out. I planned Living Coasts since it's right in the town but then I saw a bus that said Paignton Zoo on the front, the driver said it was a 20 minute ride for £3.50 so on a whim I just went for it!

 

Very nicely done! Shaldon is also only about 20 minutes from Torquay as well but you chose the better of the two zoos in my opinion.

 

Which of those 3 has the Douroucouli? None of them are listed as a holder on ZTL
