Item Description
When Joseph DuMond, an inquisitive animal behaviorist, released six monkeys into the wilds of a dense South Florida hammock in 1933, he didn't realize his endeavors would help shape the attitudes of many in the primatological and zoological fields. The release over 75 years ago of that small Java troop signified the beginning of the larger thriving troop that runs free at Monkey Jungle today.
A total of 30 species of primates are represented at Monkey Jungle including gibbons, guenons and spider monkeys, as well as the Golden Lion Tamarin, native to the Brazilian jungle and threatened with extinction. Monkey Jungle proudly participates in an international effort to save the tiny creature.
Package includes admission for up to six people to Monkey Jungle and a guided tour of the park including behind-the-scenes personal encounters with squirrel monkeys living in a lush 5-acre exhibit. http://www.monkeyjungle.com/
