Primates we'd like to "cover the bases"

IMO, if we're to get any new primates, these ones are the most necessary because of their unique rigs and animations

My ideal primate pack would be

A howler monkey
A (true) baboon (Papio).
A spider monkey
A mangled guezera
A unique south Asian monkey. Either a Javan lutung or Hanuman langur
A sifaka
Aye-aye
A tamarin/marmoset

I don't think I've ever 100% agreed with somebody else's list on this entire forum lol

But THIS 100% that's what I would have chose too. (And the Unique Asian monkey = Snub Nosed Monkey)

Also shout out to the Barbary Macaque (the only primate (besides humans) found in Europe.

Absolutely agree with this List. My Favorites are the Aye-aye, Baboon and Gibbon. Spider Monkeys would also be absolutely awesome.

Which one do you mean? At least the Golden Snub nosed Monkey seems to not be kept outside of Asia or at least only extremely rarely (but I still want to have it in the Game because it's so incredibly adorable. I hope Frontier would be able to transfer its Cuteness into the Game)

  • A gibbon.
  • A (true) baboon (Papio).
  • Another common New World monkey. (Howler or Spider)
  • A tropical African monkey. (I'd prefer colobus)
  • A unique south Asian monkey.
  • A sifaka.
  • Aye-aye
  • A tamarin/marmoset that could still fit in a habitat.

Pretty much, yeah. I'd trade the aye-aye for one more monkey though.

I'm not a huge primate fan beyond what we have, but definitely want a Gibbon of some type and a Howler Monkey to a lesser extent. Though I'm not a fan of them, we should probably get a Baboon as well.

More primates would be great in my opinion. Most important to me would be a baboon/gelada, howler monkey and perhaps two smaller monkeys (one from Africa and one from asia). Gibbons for sure would be also great if brachiation can be implemented somehow.

I desperately need more primates, especially small monkeys. There's such a huge gap between how many we have in game and how many you would realistically expect to see at pretty much any zoo. I would gladly take a full primate pack.

First up, the two most important ones (that aren't as interchangeable) are a baboon and a gibbon. Hamadryas baboon and siamang are my preferences, but I'd be happy with olive and lar or whatever the fates may will. The important thing is that we end up with both a baboon and a gibbon in this game. Honestly the baboon is considerably more important than the gibbon in my eyes, but... they're both really important.

Next up, another African monkey: the mantled guereza. There's a lot of things I'd love to include here - Diana monkey, De Brazza's monkey, wolf's guenon, vervet. All super fun and distinct, but I just can't take my mind off of our colobus for some reason. I guess I just love the "cape".

I can really only find room for a single Indian monkey as well, and I've got to go with the visually impressive lion-tailed macaque. Sorry to the grey langur. Wish this hypothetical pack was double-wide.

That leaves 3 open slots, and they've all got to go to South America. There's no other way. So! Squirrel monkey, non-negotiable. I like 'em too much. Love their yellow gloves. Not too fussed about the (sub)species. Golden lion tamarin, super visually distinct, small, exciting, I think we need a tamarin and they're easily my fave. And lastly the black-handed spider monkey. I kept flip flopping between it and either the black or red howler monkey, but ultimately I decided that in this fantasy scenario where I'm adding the siamang, they've given us proper brachiation, which would make the spider monkey all the more appealing. Also it has a slightly more stand-out coat.

And then, of course, since primates don't make for viable exhibit species, maybe we could also get a low effort Sumatran orangutan as our final species. As a treat :)





...kinda thinking I should've double dipped in Africa instead of the lion-tailed macaque. oh well.

My list would look nearly exactly the same:
  • Lar gibbon
  • Gelada
  • Howler monkey
  • Mantled guereza
  • Lion tailed macaque
  • Snub nosed monkey (we already have 3 different lemurs so I can easily pass on sifaka and trade it for snub nosed monkey)
  • Potto or Slow LorisAye-aye is very cool but I’d really prefer Potto)
  • Lion tamarin
I could write like at least 8 more but we are always so limited here.

Also can’t imagine the game without another Gibbon, langur (gray or Javan), Blue nile patas monkey and the most importantly any spider monkey.

My opinion on covering primates where missing
Barbary macaque: gives us a “European” monkey
Vervets: small African monkey
Golden langur
Howler monkey: for the lack of a better word a “larger SA monkey”
Hamadryas baboon: currently no baboons
Colobus monkey
Golden Tamirin
Gibbons are a must.
I think for now we have enough representation for lemurs for now.
when it comes to micro primates maybe the aye aye, I’d rather have slow loris in a theoretical large exhibit as I think they are too small to be given a habitat

Wasn't sure if I'd posted in here or not but it looks like I did and my preferences still stand, although I suppose I'm now slightly more amenable to the howler over the spider monkey. Still, we need some monkey business.

Haven't we already done this thread?

Anyway;
  1. Hamadryas baboon. I won't accept the gelada as a substitute.
  2. Gibbon. My preference is for the siamang, but I'd accept any.
  3. Squirrel monkey. These guys are everywhere in zoos, and a common mix with the capybara.
  4. Golden lion or cotton-top tamarin. Preferably both, being honest, but I'll take one or the other.
  5. Diana or Rolloway monkey. We need an African monkey that isn't a baboon and these two are my favourites.
  6. Dusky langur. Fairly widespread in zoos for a langur species.
  7. Lion-tailed macaque. Good representation for India.
And there you have a Primate Animal Pack. 😂

My take on this would probably be something like:
  • A gibbon
  • A baboon
  • Both the howler and spider monkeys
  • A guenon or swamp monkey
  • A tamarin or marmoset
  • A colobus
  • One or two additional lemurs
Honestly though, the game should have started with way more monkey species -- I'd certainly rather have a golden lion tamarin than the HBBear or two populations of the same tiger subspecies (sorry, Siberian and Bengal).

Bruh I haven't posted here ?

This is what I would put in:

-Lar Gibbon, but I wouldn't be mad about Siamang
-Spider Monkey, any species
-Howler, Black, yes I need both
-De Brazza Guenon, or Guereza but I prefer the first, both in perfect world
-Gelada, fine with it, not too big on Baboons
-Golden Snub Nosed Monkey, possibly but out of all the most interchangeable one
-Coquerel's Sifaka, and with Fossa and Chameleon would be enough to finish off Madagascar

I love Tamarins and Marmosets but I think they're just too small for habitat. If I picked it would be Emperor Tamarin
