Hello do you know if there is a place where most of the world's monkeys are kept, a bit like the duke center but for all monkeys? Or a zoo with a lot of monkeys? I know the valley of the monkeys or apenheul but there must be centers or zoos which have more monkeys right?
Yes so it is not really a good breeding place. Another question also: which zoos can accommodate proboscis monkey ?
I doubt if any zoo has kept most of the world's known monkeys at any one time; this was mainly due to some leaf monkeys and New World monkeys to be difficult to keep in captivity until relatively recently when many zoos keep fewer species than before. There are zoos that have kept most of the known species of small groups of monkeys, such as sakis and uakaris in Cologne's South America House and mangabeys in the Paris Menagerie. In the last few years, the number of species of monkeys have increased due to discoveries and splitting. I doubt if any zoo would now exhibit most species, even in a specialist collection.
Parque de las Leyendas in Lima, Peru has over 50 primate species and there are other zoos in South America with may species.
Okay thank you I know little about the zoos and parks in this region, I will find out. We can therefore confirm that Apenheul is the best place to observe all kinds of monkeys in good conditions. After the success of the breeding of doucs in Chleby and the imminent arrival at Beauval of doucs from Bangkok, can we imagine a return of the proboscis monkey ?
Please could you provide a list? I'd be very interested to know more. On my 2010 & 2016 visits they only kept a fraction of that number.
Here are the monkeys kept at 3 zoos: Apeldoorn Silvery and pygmy marmosets, callimico, bearded emperor and pied tamarins, golden and golden-headed lion tamarins White-faced and yellow-breasted capuchins, Bolivian squirrel monkey Grey-handed night monkey Red titi, white-faced and red-backed sakis Black-and-gold and Venezuelan red howlers, Colombian black spider monkey, woolly monkey Barbary and lion-tailed macaques, collared mangabey, L’Hoest’s monkey, northern talapoin, Hanuman langur, Javan lutung Chleby Pygmy marmoset, cotton-top tamarin Mantled colobus, red-shanked douc langur Romagne Common, Geoffroy’s, silvery and western pygmy marmosets, bearded emperor and golden-handed tamarins, golden and golden-headed lion tamarins Bearded, yellow-breasted and white-faced capuchins, Peruvian squirrel monkey Red titi, white-faced saki Black-and-gold howler, Black and Colombian brown spider monkeys, woolly monkey Barbary macaque, mandrill, gelada, Roloway and eastern lesser white-nosed guenons, Kikuyu guereza
Here is the list of monkeys at JMC: Common, Geoffroy’s, black-tufted eared, black and white tassel-eared and pygmy marmosets, emperor, red-bellied, red-handed and cotton-top tamarins White-fronted, Guianan brown and white-throated capuchins, Bolivian squirrel monkey Night monkey Dusky titi , white-faced and bearded saki Geoffroy’s, black and long-haired spider monkeys, common woolly monkey Long-tailed, Japanese(including Yaku), lion-tailed, toque, bonnet, Formosa, Tibetan, rhesus, southern pig-tailed, stump-tailed and Barbary macaques, golden-bellied mangabey, Hamadryas, Guinea and Anubis baboons, drill, mandrill, gelada, Syke’s, red-tailed (including Schmidt’s), moustached, De Brazza’s and Buettikofer’s guenons, northern talapoin, patas, Malbraouck’s and savannah monkeys, Abyssinian and Angolan colobus monkeys, Hanuman langur, silvered and Francois’ lutongs
Or, alternatively, travel guides are not a good source for factual information about things like this.
Thank you for all these lists. JMC has more but in less good condition than Apenheul or the valley. The valley was talking about orangutans not so long ago, do we know where it is? And another question you prefer: The valley or Apenheul? I was also thinking about Chester. It is undoubtedly one of the zoos on which we can count to see some in Europe one day ... as well as Beauval.
