Gibbons, Geladas, and Guenons Galore! -- Primates in North America

A male and female Hoolock Gibbon were at Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo as recently as 2020. Here's a recent news video
Zoo Buddies: Hoolock Gibbons

Are they still there? And if yes, is there any breeding plans?

 

The King Colobus one is definitely wrong. It's Keystone Safari that has colobus, not either of the LT parks, and they have Guerzera, signed as such as well. Some USDA inspectors aren't so competent, ugh.

 

Any Yellow baboons? I heard that the recently closed Wild Wilderness Drive Thru safari in Arkansas had them.

 

Jackson Zoo (as recently as January of this year) has a Schmidt’s red-tailed monkey

When I was last there in August of last year they still had a pair of Angolan talapoin on exhibit in World of Primates, and a quick look at ZIMS confirms they are still there.

 

I'm obsessed with this topic! I love it!

 

Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary in Gainesville, FL has quite a number of species of New World monkeys, including rare ones. They don't seem to offer normal hour tours, but they are at least sometimes open to the public.

Species listed online:
Common Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri sciurus)
Bolivian Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri boliviensis)
Tufted Capuchin (Sapajus apella)
Wheeper Capuchin (Cebus olivaceus)
White-faced Capuchin (Cebus capuchinus)
White-fronted Capuchin (Cebus albifrons)
Geoffroy's Spider Monkey (Ateles geoffroyi)
Peruvian Spider Monkey (Ateles chamek)
Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)
Black-tufted Marmoset (Callithrix penicillata)
Cottontop Tamarin (Saguinus oedipus)
Golden-handed Tamarin (Saguinus midas)

 

This is interesting! I didn't know of any Hoolocks besides the ones at Gibbon Conservation Center. Hoolocks are still on their website so they probably still have them. (Edit: just checked Dec, 2021 USDA inspection and they had them as of then, so probably good to add to the list)

The Gibbon SSP website lists them as having agile gibbons, too, but I don't see those on the zoo's website - perhaps the SSP site made a mistake and listed them as having agile instead of hoolock?

 

I don't think the TAG would necessarily keep track of a species that they aren't managing, so if they put Agile they probably mean Agile?

Don't see Agile listed on the USDA reports either - only Hoolock, White-handed, and Siamangs. There aren't any social media posts or other news from that zoo about having Agile gibbons, so I do think it's a mistake on the GibbonSSP website.

 

@branta68 uploaded photos labeled as an Agile and Hoolock Gibbon in 2016; I'm no gibbon expert but here's the photos for those better versed.

Disney's Animal Kingdom no longer keeps Ring-tailed Lemur.

 

Creation Kingdom apparently has Golden-Bellied Capuchin.

 

Have seen there.

 

Do you have a photo? I'd find it incredibly surprising for such a zoo to have such an endangered species that otherwise hasn't really been kept historically in this country, if at all.

@TinoPup posted a photo of the exhibit in the gallery. I'd assumed she had identified it correctly, but I may have been mistaken.

 

No. It's on their website, though.

 

Doesn't mean anything, knowing how irreliable even AZA listings can be. Roadside zoos can be even worse, they may have had one at some point but doesn't mean they do now.

 

@TinoPup Any upclose photos of the capuchins from your recent visit to Creation Kingdom?
