Tamarins, while I would prefer them as a Habitat animals, I would give pass for Exhibit, but a hard NO from me regarding Saki being exhibit. If Capuchins are habitat, there is no reason why Sakis would not.
O wow that sounds pretty cool!! Wanna try this out now in a tropical dome with butterflies and capuchin monkey.
I feel really bad for how neglected langurs are when people are advocating a second macaque...
Isnt Proboscis Monkey technically a langur? I think I heard it somewhere.
Love langurs but just as Foxy mentioned we already have Proboscis monkey which is langur.
Yes they are in the same subfamily as langurs , interesting enough there has been possible breeding between the Proboscis monkey and the silvery Langur creating a hybrid monkey in Malaysia
Oh, never heard of that. I guess it is because losing habitat like in case of the bears? Interesting, going to read more on this.

Technically yes but there are 4 main groups of ‘langurs/asian colobines’ - the sacred/Hanuman langurs, the lutungs, the surilis and the odd-nosed colobines of which the proboscis monkey is one, and they vary considerably in behaviour/ecology and physical build. Personally, I’d love to get at least one langur from Borneo or Malaya to complement the proboscis monkey, Bornean orangutan or gibbons in an exhibit or even a macaque… one can wish
Personally I would prefer a crested black macaque as it would complement the babirusa well and it would also fit an island pack. I’m big on mixed species exhibits and there’s just not enough unique South Indian animals in the game to go along with the lion-tailed macaque.Love langurs but just as Foxy mentioned we already have Proboscis monkey which is langur.
With indefinite slots I would choose also gray langur and Javan langur. All langurs are great
Remember also how different from all other macaques Lion tailed are with their manes, color and tails. They are also endangered.

I think they would go well with Indian elephants or water buffalo or both
I ean, Lion-tailed are an exception for me cos they are so visually distinct, but I don't feel like proboscis monkeys are exactly a typical langur species, but then again there's also stuff like doucs, snub nosed monkeys and colobus monkeys in their broad category too, all of which are all substantially more visually distinct than say japanese vs babary vs long-tailed etc etcLove langurs but just as Foxy mentioned we already have Proboscis monkey which is langur.
