    I thought it was a curiously easy question...

    I don't mind if we pretend that round didn't happen, and you can go fresh with a new question.

    Okay, second time lucky.

    This zoo has the captive longevity record for Indri outside of Madagascar. The animal lasted a pitiful amount of time.

    oh really, nuts, I thought I knew that one. (I just couldn't remember the actual full name of the zoo so hoped I could slip "Paris" by without being questioned further!).

    So, Mulhouse is in my head for some reason.

    France would be obvious due to all the odd lemurs that have turned up there, in fact I would have said Paris too if I didn't know the answer.

    And not Rotterdam.

    I'm pretty sure there were Indri at Paris, but I'm not going to google that because I don't want to find the answer to your question by accident.

    I've just checked on ztl and Paris did have Indri, along with Prague... Other than that there are no more entries for Europe. So not what you typed. ( I can't spell it either.)

    okay, so I'm now moving to America I guess (not literally, obviously).

    Let's go for San Diego Zoo?

    And we have a winner! You got it, it lived for 19 days and it was in the 1930's.

    I think that thread was probably why I had Paris in my head, remembering that as being the longest.

    Anyway, my question (I think it's quite easy):

    This zoo has an exhibit named "Baboon County, USA"

    Paris may have had them, even kept them for longer but San Diego are the ones in the records! I can't believe that it only lasted 7 days though...
