Abstract
Woolly monkeys (Lagothrix lagotricha) are impressive characteristic species of Southern America. Thus, their keeping and breeding at Dortmund Zoo between 1960-1974 and 1979-1988 should be contemplated in a retrospective and concluding way. Seven births plus one putative abort occurred. Births were distributed over the year as follows: February (1), May (2), June (1), November (2), and December (1). Two woolly monkeys reached a remarkable age assumed between 16 and 19 years for a female and between 18 and 21 years for a male. Gravidity lasts only about five months. The data presented here are of historic interest but unfortunately the set is too small to provide meaningful statistical results.
