Thank you, they are very elegant monkeys with their  fur all black with little white collar only (remind me Spanish renaissance courtiers ).

Yes, the white fur is like one of those ruffles that were worn

Great monkey photo!  Again I didn't know they had these in zoos over there.  Over here it's quite rare.

Keeping them is part of EEP program in which our zoo participates. 
As one of their mottoes says: "It does not matter 
In which lake you discover a spill of pollution, 
In the forest of which country a fire breaks out, 
Or on which continent a hurricane originates: 
You are guardian of the entired earth"
