What will be the future of these Nothern Talapoin Monkey (Miopithecus ogouensis) in european zoos? New holder this year is Copenhagen. And Apeldoorn has recently received four animals. Is there these days more and new attention for this species from genus of Miopithecus? And who is coordinating this?
It looks like regular seizing of confiscated individuals have improved significantly the prospects for this specie in EAZA zoos (several new bloodlines comes from AAP). Being already listed as Near-threatened and being quite different from other African monkeys, I like to see this development as as long as it does not contitute an additional competition for space with other guenon species.
don't they get mixed with other old world monkeys? I feel like as if nonbreeding groups could be kept with other nonbreeding guenons
The two males at Copenhagen (formerly Apenheul) are yet not in a breeding position. So in order to establish new bloodlines some females should join. Does anybody knows the gender of the present talapoin at Apenheul?
