JERSEY Zoo’s Sulawesi crested black macaque troop have been moved to a wildlife park in the UK.
Bella, Kato, Koko, and Nanas are now at Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire.
In a Facebook post, Jersey Zoo said: “Jersey Zoo’s first crested black macaque arrived in 1963 and the first breeding success was in 1971. Since then, around 70 have been born in contribution to the breeding programme that was launched to help save the species.
“Bella, Kato, Koko, and Nanas are moving to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo to continue the breeding programme. They’ll be able to socialise in a larger group and have a new home to explore.
“The macaques will be missed lots by our staff and visitors. We’ll be announcing which species will move into the macaque’s home in the new year.”
