Pretty much on the same train, if I'm being down to earth for my primates' wishlist. I would love a Sifaka, (m)any langur of the Semnopithecus or Trachypithecus family and the Golden Snub-Nose Monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) + Wooly Monkeys (Lagothrix lagotricha) and a Titi (Callicebus sp.) if I'm being greedy.
What is our best hope now for more monkeys?
- Thread starter Fallax
- Start date
Imagine if we just got a big old " monkies" pack
I think a baboon and two or three new world primates are plausible to come still.
I wouldn’t put it past frontier to do a whole primate pack. Imagine the memes and puns for marketing.
“Monkey business” “return to monke” stuff like that

Give one a pair of red boots and the memes would be insane
Those can't be kept in Zoos though. Otherwise a good Pack. Missing a Spider Monkey though
Didn't know that Uakaris are that rare in Zoos (if even in any Zoos at all). Your Replacements sound good. I'd love to get Sifakas in the Game
Golden Snub nosed Monkeys also seem to be (common?) in chinese Zoos and were also kept outside of Asia in the Past (I wonder why they've stopped)
Also regarding Lemurs: how about a Species of Bamboo Lemur?
Still hoping for this one to make it into the Game in Case that we'll get a Mountain Pack at some Point. Would still want a Baboon too though
Absolutely agree with this
Thanks for the Clarification. Just wanted to ask if it isn't possible to combine them. Hope though this also works with Exhibit Walls up (Habitat Animals entering and leaving through the Guest Entrances)
I know that's Off-Topic but: A Species of Anoa would also be great
lol
I need them
?
In my pack predictions for the coming year, I can see us getting three new primates:
Drylands Animal Pack (Summer)
- Hamadryas Baboon - An unmistakeable animal that’s becoming more and more common in zoos, as well as being highly requested by the community.
Woodlands Animal Pack (Autumn)
- Black Howler Monkey - A large New World monkey with sexual dimorphism and that can utilise the chorus feature.
Mountains Pack (Winter)
- Gelada - Again, another distinct looking primate that’s becoming more and more common in zoos, that can live in large troops and is largely terrestrial.
I feel like the Hamadryas Baboon, Howler Monkey and Gelada are our top three most needed primates, with Mantled Guerezas, Tamarins and Spider Monkeys hot on their heels. I reckon if we’re lucky, we’ll see a primate in each pack from here on in, and those three are likely to be the ones I’ve picked. Honestly, I’d be happy with that.
So I wouldn’t give up on primates just yet! I’m sure we’ll get at least a few more.

If I had to pick between gelada and guereza I'd go with the guereza, but man oh man do I want both.
I’d definitely be down - the Gelada is my most wanted primate, and definitely represents ‘Highlands’ the best so if we only got one primate slot I’d take that. But if there were two primate slots, I’d love to see the Guereza or Barbary Macaque in a pack like this!
My most wanted monkeys are definitely the Hamadryas baboon, squirrel monkey, and Geoffroy's spider monkey. If we just got those three I'd be pretty happy. Bonus monkeys include the cotton-top tamarin, golden lion tamarin, Diana monkey, lion-tailed macaque, and tufted capuchin.
As for other primates, I've had my fill of gibbons. The siamang was the only one I wanted, and we got it. I don't want either of the other two orangutan species and AFAIK there no other gorillas in captivity aside of the western lowland, so the great apes are done. I'm not bothered about a sifaka or the aye-aye or any of the other prosimians.

These are more or less also the Monkeys I would Like to see. I would add to my list the Black Howler Monkey as its voices would bring a Lot of Zoo vibes in my opinion. And the Gelada which Perhaps looks similar to the Hamadryas Baboon but in the other hand they still feel very different in my opinion.
There is a single female Eastern Lowland at Antwerp Zoo. Doesn't really change your point though
From going reading everyone's thoughts over the past few months I've kinda worked what I think people want most from monkeys. Most popular choice in brackets
essential
baboon (hamadryas)
Howler monkey
Spider monkey
Tamarin (if possible)
Mainland Asian monkey (lion Tailed macaque)
other important species
white faced saki
Squirrel monkey (bolivian)
Guenon (Mantled guereza)
Asian mountain monkey (Golden snub nosed)
Langur (francois)
Barbary macaque
Wetland monkey (de brazzas)

Guereza's are colobus not guenons. De Brazza's is a guenon though.
Id say that an african monkey besides the baboon is also essential.
Ideally we should have like 3 more monkeys for asia and africa each, 6 for SA and a baboon, but i feel thats not gonna happen. What i would say is essential is:
1 baboon
1 african monkey
1 asian monkey
2-3 SA monkeys
Im not set on any particular species, ofcourse i have favorites but id be happy with most species as long as those slots are filled.
