They are a probiscis monkey situation.
Held only in their native range due to very specific diet and husbandry needs that arnt well studied while also having no conservation value, so the zoo associations just dont bother

Cool, thought there aren't any at all left in Zoos
I've actually never been to the Bronx zoo. They are my favorite bird and a unique one, so there is no way I was mistaken about what I saw. It's possible they weren't kept there legally. They seemed terrified of people and were keeping to the top corner of their enclosure in a very out-of-the-way spot. I didn't stay too long because I didn't want to stress them further.
Wouldn’t we allI would love a all primate animal pack
Oh gosh, just bring us a New World monkey animal pack and an Old World monkey animal pack, please Frontier. So many funky monkeys...

That’s it? That’s really small lol.
that is the point tho, i said small list.
sorry it was a joke, I thought it was pretty big of a list.
ACT zoo? Where’s that?
Australian capital territory, it is between NSW and Vic
I honestly think the mantled guereza is underrated. I agree we need more SA monkeys but the mantled guereza is also essential for me. I've seen it in almost every zoo I've been too.
Other than that, there is one primate that is never mentioned and that I really like: the owl-faced monkey. I did not even know it existed a few years ago but then it arrived at Antwerp Zoo and it's now my favorite monkey to see when I go there. It's very endangered and Antwerp has been very successful with them, getting a baby almost every year. So they have a special place in my heart. Not at all essential for the game but would be a nice oddball addition for sure.
Man, I don't even like primates that much. I'm really not a huge primate fan. But we need many more monkeys in the game to build realistic zoos.

Maroon and Silvered Leaf Monkeys.
I saw them in Borneo and they are gorgeous.
They should share a guest-friendly habitat together like the lemurs, throw some langurs in there too for good measure. They're pretty small and live in big family groups.

THANK YOU! They’re one of my favorites, and they have them in my local zoo
