“Hamilton Zoo and Brooklands Zoo identified a clear need for an
exchange programme as each facility housed a large troop of
closely-related capuchins and both were near maximum capacity, meaning
only minimal breeding was possible,” said Mr Standley.
Because the troops at Hamilton Zoo and Brooklands Zoo were unrelated
to each other, it was decided the best solution would be to set up a
new troop of capuchins at Melbourne Zoo consisting of three Hamilton
Zoo males and four Brooklands Zoo females, and then for Hamilton and
six females from Brooklands Zoo,” said Mr Standley. “A few days after
the exchange took place the new females were introduced to our males,
Sanchez and Apu, and we were thrilled to see them hit it off
immediately.
