    I was given a trivia question that I can’t find the answer. Does anyone know the answer to, “the Louisville Zoo is the only zoo in the US to have these animals”. Does anyone know what animals Louisville has that no other zoo has?

    That would have been my answer as well, though I'm not sure those monkeys are still alive at Louisville anymore; the latest reference I can find to them (on this site or otherwise) is a couple of years back and they are not on the website.

    Alternatively, Louisville holds some rare island species - particularly pigeons/doves if I remember correctly - so that could be another possibility.

    Are they real Brown woolly monkeys or are they from the same stock in Europe which is generally a Hybrid between 2 species that were only recognized recently?
