The red-capped mangabey group in Tierpark Berlin has 2 new members - one baby born in January of unkown sex and a 22 year old female from Saarbrücken Zoo. She was the last mangabey there. The group now consist of 3.5.1 animals - one breeding male, 2 male infants, 3 adult females, 2 female infants and the new baby (whose mother is already 23). The group had the problem that for many years, only males had been born - more then a dozend in a row!! The 2 females infants (born in 2006 I believe) are therefore really good news and will hopefully secure the future of the group.
