Thanks, Valentin I had a pleasant visit to Apenheul, but I haven't been to the valley or to JMC. I would like to do more travel, dependent on the coronavirus, my health and public transport. According to ZTL, the following monkeys lived in London Zoo: Tassel-eared, black-tailed, buffy-headed, pygmy, Geoffroy’s, golden-white tassel-eared, silvery, common and black-pencilled marmosets; black-handed, golden-handed, Illiger’s saddle-back, white-lipped, red-capped, Geoffroy’s, Spix’s moustached, white-footed and cotton-top tamarins Bearded, Guianan weeper, hooded, large-headed, Panamanian white-throated, white-fronted, white-faced, yellow-breasted and black-capped capuchins; bare-eared, red-backed and common squirrel monkeys Azara’s, northern and grey-handed night monkeys Booted, red-crowned and dusky titis; monk and white-faced sakis, red-backed, white-nosed and common bearded sakis;, black-headed and bald uakaris Black-and-gold, red, ursine red and brown howlers; black-faced, Colombian brown, Geoffrey’s, white-bellied, white-whiskered and Colombian black spider monkeys; brown, silvery and grey woolly monkeys Assam, bonnet, booted, crab-eating, Japanese, lion-tailed, moor, northern and Sunda pig-tailed, Pagai, rhesus, stump-tailed, Taiwan rock, Tonkean, toque and Barbary macaques; agile, collared, grey-cheeked, Johnston’s, sooty and black crested mangabeys; chacma, olive, western, yellow and Hamadryas baboons; drill, mandrill; gelada; Allen’s swamp, grivet, Tantalus, Angolan vervet, green, northern and southern talapoin and patas monkeys; red-bellied, crowned, Campbell’s, mona, Wolf’s, De Brazza’s, Dent’s, lesser and greater white-nosed, golden, moustached, Hamlyn’s, Sykes’s, L’Hoest’s, blue, Preuss’s, red-eared, Roloway, Sclater’s, blue and red-tailed guenons; king, white-thighed and red colobus monkeys; capped, dusky, Malabar sacred, mitred, pale-thighed, Phayre’s, purple-faced, red-shanked douc, tufted grey and black-crested Sumatran langurs; Francois’ leaf monkey; Javan lutung; Javan and banded surilis; golden snub-nosed and proboscis monkeys According to ZTL the following monkeys are currently kept at Chester Zoo: Pygmy marmoset; golden-headed lion, pied and emperor tamarins Yellow-breasted capuchin Black-and-gold howler; Colombian black spider monkey Crested black and lion-tailed macaques, mandrill
Thanks Valenin I remember the Monkey House. I think that's the only time I've seen captive chacma baboons or hoolock gibbons. The Monkey House was replaced by the Sobell Pavilions, which included geladas and a red-shanked douc langur.
Wow ! Are there no more chacma baboons in captivity? Okay thank you for the information. Anyone have a list of monkey species from the Beauval Zoo?
There are no chacma baboons listed on ZTL, but I suspect a few are kept in zoos in southern Africa. According to ZTL, the following monkeys are listed as current living at Beauval Zoo: Silvery and pygmy marmosets; callimico; emperor, golden lion, golden-handed, pied, red-bellied and cotton-top tamarins Yellow-bellied capuchin, Bolivian squirrel monkey Red titi, white-faced saki Colombian black spider monkey Barbary and lion-tailed macaques, patas monkey, De Brazza’s, moustached and Diana guenons, mantled guereza, grey langur, Javan lutung, ebony leaf monkey
I haven't got access to zoos outside the ZTL list. Several years ago, there was a website that enabled Zoochatters (and others) to look up different species in worldwide zoos.
San Diego Zoo’s website (https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals) lists the following monkeys, but may have more (the website is a bit confusing about current and past species): Tufted capuchin Spider monkey Northern black-crested mangabey, Hamadryas baboon, mandrill, gelada; Red-tailed, lesser spot-nosed, De Brazza’s and Wolf’s guenons; Allen’s swamp monkey, Angolan and mantled colobus monkeys, silvered langur The website of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park (https://www.sdzsafaripark.org/park-animals-plants) lists no monkeys.
proboscis monkey could come back since singapore takes part in the eaza programm when the last male of the species was sent back to the zoo from apenheul they publicly announced that there were plans to expand the programm to other parks within europe but the park decided to stop that for then and give the last male back but there stated the option that european parls would continue trying
Thanks for the lists. That of Beauval should not take long to lengthen ... The lists provided by San diego are complicated because there are all kinds of animals even those never kept by the park so ... For London yes I said to myself that it was a lot at once. Good news, so we are likely to see this primate in Europe again. Beauval talked about it in his masterplan so why not?
I was visiting the old London Zoo monkey house from around 1955 onwards, and never remember seeing Chacma baboon there. They did have both Olive(a pair) and Yellow, (also Mandrill, Drill & Gelada) through until around the time of its closure. I have only ever seen Chacmas in Europe once,a long time ago now, I think it was somewhere like Munich Zoo. This enormous lists of primates from London Zoo must include many species that have been kept there at different times in its history- never all at once. Their primate collection diminished considerably when the Sobell pavilions were built, but the groups became larger. Nowadays the variety is even further reduced to just a very few species.
There are therefore no more chacmas in Europe. Okay, so that’s all the primates that came to the zoo one day. The collection was therefore much larger at the time than now. But if it is for animal welfare all the better. Apenheul therefore remains the best in this area with the valley.
ZTL lists the following monkeys living at London Zoo: Callimico, emperor and pied tamarins, golden and golden-headed lion tamarins Bolivian squirrel monkey Red titi Black spider monkey Crested black macaque, white-crowned mangabey, Diana monkey, mantled colobus, Hanuman langur
Thanks Valentin London Zoo has been open for nearly 200 years and, like many other zoos, has greatly reduced the number of monkeys species it keeps.
And of course that was the list of all the former holdings, not the species they held at one time, although it is still very impressive.
Here is ZTL’s current list of monkeys kept at the Berlin Tierpark Silvery marmoset, golden-handed tamarin Yellow-breasted capuchin White-faced saki Venezuelan red howler Barbary and Sunda pig-tailed macaques, gelada, Diana monkey Here is ZTL’s current list of monkeys kept at the Berlin Zoo Geoffroy’s marmoset, callimico; emperor, Graell’s and cotton-top tamarins Guiana weeper capuchin, common squirrel monkey Azara’s night monkey Red titi Black-and-gold howler, Colombian black spider monkey Japanese, Toque and lion-tailed macaques, Hamadryas baboon, mandrill, Hamlyn’s monkey, grey langur, Javan lutung
