    So are most of the Mueller's and Buff-crested Gibbons post-reproductive age? Since those species had seven and eight holders, respectively, I figured there's a chance of a phase-in. And for Javans, I think I read somewhere that they are managed as a global program by the Australasian ZAA.

    How long has the lion macaque been there? Does the zoo offer a bts tour to see it?

    I'm not sure tbh. Mueller's in particular would be great as they're an endangered species that's not represented by a program elsewhere like Golden-Cheeked are. I imagine the real issue is it's been determined that there's only room for three or four programs long-term, and the three that are doing well now are what the AZA seems content with sticking to.

    No idea and probably not. Lion-Tailed Macaques are a phase-out species unfortunately and the few animals left are getting up there in age, sadly.

    I've never been to these zoos, but from their website you can add these:

    Cohanzick Zoo in NJ has Lar Gibbon, Common Marmoset and Ringtail Lemur

    Space Farm Zoo in NJ has Ringtail Lemurs and Guinea Baboon

    In that case, Memphis should be under Three-striped Night monkey (Aotus trivirgatus) because that is what they are signed as, unless there is evidence that they are otherwise.

    Cincinnati should also be under Moholi bushbaby (Galago moholi)

    Are the Woolly monkeys on exhibit? Last I heard they were off.

    I believe there are still a couple of Bonnet Macaques left in private hands, although at which facilities I am not sure. I know Franklin Drive-Through Safari and DeYoung Family Zoo have both held the species in recent past, and there may be a few others I forgot about.

    They're semi-onshow in a visible "off-exhibit" setting; they're potentially viewable if you know where to look.

    So a similar setup to how the uakari at LA used to be then.

    Honestly, that's the most preferable way to have off-show animals, in a way that they could still be seen if someone really wanted, but still out of the way for privacy for the animals' sake. Of course, this type of setup can't really work for every type of off-show animal, like nocturnal ones, but it'd be nice if it would be implemented more when it could be.

    My favorite way for off-show animals to be displayed is by calling an area "off-show" but then having a public path and signs leading directly to it. Walsrode-style :p Better still when it's chalk-full of rare animals!

    Toledo has a similar set-up with some of their aviaries. The only problem is they don't sign anything.

    Doesn’t Cincinnati still have one or two Crowned Guenons left, or have they passed away?

    A couple more additions:

    Denver Zoo should still have a few Hooded Capuchins

    Luray Zoo may still Tonkean Macaque, as they did have the species in 2020

    Skye’s Guenon and Taiwan Rock Macaque may still be around in small numbers, although it is equally likely these are no longer around.

    They do — they still have three female Gray’s crowned guenons.

    Great work, a few things I noticed:

    Japanese Macaque: Atlantis Marine World Aquarium and Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center are the same place, they changed names to drop the Atlantis part.

    Mandrill: Zoo World (Panama City Beach)

    Geoffrey's Marmoset: Rainforest Adventures (Pigeon Forge TN)

    Red and white ruffed lemur: Zoo World (Panama City Beach)

    Ring Tailed Lemur: Safari Wilderness, Giraffe Ranch, SeaQuest Las Vegas (and probably the other SeaQuest locations too), San Antonio Aquarium, Austin Aquarium.

    Fantastic list! I will only add that Monkey Jungle also keeps both red-handed tamarin and coppery titi.

    The Wild Animal Park in Chattinango,NY also lists Bearded Saki, Lar Gibbon and Siamang on their website in addition to other species already listed. Never been to this place so can't confirm if they're actually there.

    On their website, Tregembo Animal Park (Wilmington, NC) has pictures of Patas monkey, Japanese macaque, Brown capuchin, Cotton-top tamarin, Night monkey (not sure species), Ring-tailed lemur, a Spider monkey species, Assam macaque and a monkey I'm not sure of. I remember all of those except for the night monkey. I think they no longer have lion-tailed macaque or blue (syke's?) monkey.
