More photos in 1st comment box. This is one of those "you don't know what you have until it's gone" stories. Soon to move on as has our Colobus and DeBrazza monkeys. I understand why the latter two left (exhibits closed due to aging) but why is the zoo getting rid of our patas monkeys just to bring in lemurs? Every zoo and wild animal park around has lemurs but as far as I know we are the only ones that have patas. I just hope it doesn't get to the point where every zoo has the exact same collection. What would be the point in going to different zoos? (OK I will step off my soapbox now!)

A taxidermy red patas or hussar monkey (Erythrocebus patas) Mid 20th century, including CITES H. approx. 40 cm Provenance: Private collection, the Netherlands The patas monkey lives in multi-female groups of up to 60 individuals. During the breeding season, there are multi-male influxes into the group. Once juvenile males reach sexual maturity, they leave the group, usually joining all-male groups. The adult females in the group initiate movement of the group. The monkey feeds on insects, gum, seeds, and tubers, a diet more characteristic of much smaller primates.

I'm pretty sure this is the correct type of monkey, all the pictures I can find on the internet look correct. Normally when I'm at the zoo I'll write down the names of my subjects, I forgot on this trip though. Interesting fact: Patas Monkeys are the world’s fastest species of primate. When required, they can go from 0 to 33mph in three seconds. (I think thats faster than my car, by a lot)
