question: Lam Vien Park HCMC

[vern@coombs.anu.edu.au (Vern Weitzel)]

I found this leader on the Saigon Times home page.

"The monkey garden in Lam Vien Park in suburban HCMC has
been growing and now has some 400 long-tailed monkeys.
(See article on page 3)"

Since I am always interested in the primate happenings
in Vietnam, I was wondering if anyone can tell me more
about this monkey colony: is this a caged zoo or do the
animals run free, is this part of a tourist complex or
just a public park, if a complex who is the owner or
operator, and how are the monkeys fed, cared for.

I apologise for my curiosity.

Cheers, Vern
