How awful that he died at such a young age. Apenheul is by far one of our most cherished places to visit for our family of primate lovers. We have enjoyed the educational benefits of visiting along with the personal family time spent. I can only hope that the concept of primate conservation will continue on for many, many more generations. Thanks to Mager, hopefully that chance will still be possible.
