Beauval Zoo is already one of only two zoos in Europe to keep red-shanked douc langurs, so they have form with bringing in rare monkeys.
As for proboscis monkeys, Apenheul Zoo in the Netherlands brought three males over from Singapore Zoo to try and learn how to keep them (I should know, I saw them on my one visit), but the project failed - I think two died of gastrointestinal issues and the final one was sent back to Singapore. I think for these leaf-eating monkeys, the main issue is that in winter they completely lose access to their main food source unlike in zoos in the tropics, so more sensitive monkeys really struggle in temperate areas (which is the main reason why doucs are so rare, and proboscis monkeys and red colobuses are completely absent).
Due to the holder of Pairi Daiza's love for Chinese culture and his strong financial resources, I think this is possible. But it is just a possibility.
I share that hope, but I think the likelihood of this happening is second only to my settling on Mars.I hope they become a meme so Frontier add them to PZ
If some animals only eat certain foods, this will undoubtedly bring additional costs to the feeding. If you want to give an example, giant pandas are the most typical example. Many zoos that own them spend a lot of money on food alone.
Speaking on China sending animals to other countrys, to celebrate the 50 years of China-Brazil relationship, Giants Pandas are being negotiate to arrive on Brazil by the next years:
The arrival of the Pandas in Brazil was meant to happen this year, but thanks to the costs it was postponed for the next years. The three main contenders to receive the animals are the SP zoo, Animalia park and Biopark do Rio, with the SP duo being the more probables.

This is so cool
So Brazil will be the second Latín America Zoo in having Giants pandas
I hope to see more Giants Pandas in all Latín America
Its cool to see more latin America country receiving, and it would be also cool to see more of them over all SA, though im excepticsl about it considering costs and all other things.
Regardless, i think those negotiations are a footsteps for a better future to Giant Pandas outside China.
Bronx Zoo have announced that in 2025 they will be reopening the World of Darkness exhibit, a nocturnal house that had closed down in 2009. Its original first opening was in 1969. At the time it closed in 2009, it was home to five species of bat, six nocturnal primate species (fat-tailed dwarf and mouse lemurs, moholi bushbaby, two species of slow loris and night monkey), sand and leopard cats, genets, striped skunks, six species of rodent, two-toed sloth, bay duiker, broad-snouted caiman, two species of snake, cane toads and scorpions.
So far, the announcement graphic has confirmed four species - the return of a species of bat, two-toed sloths and caimans, plus a brand-new species in the form of the aye-aye. The announcement graphic can be found here:

Wait tierpark berlin? Isnt the Zoo the one with the big nocturnal house?

Yes Tierpark. Indeed the Zoo has the large nocturnal house and used to keep aye-ayes in it some years ago but it's Tierpark in this case.Wait tierpark berlin? Isnt the Zoo the one with the big nocturnal house?

In the last weeks they turned a regular enclosure in their monkey house into a nocturnal habitat. And as they already have a strong focus on Madagascar in this building (including the sifakas and three more lemur species, radiated tortoises, day geckos and golden mantellas), it's quite obvious that the aye-aye will live there.
Big news, The Pairi Daiza will be getting 3 golden snub-nosed monkeys. They will be the second zoo in Europe to get this primate after ZooParc de Beauval in France.
You got your news confirmed, man.
Let’s get them PZ come on! Another temperate monkey and an icon of china
