December 8, 2009

The Santa Fe Teaching Zoo is home to a new group of four female monkeys. They are very active and can be seen on exhibit foraging in the leaves, vocalizing and climbing around.

Squirrel monkeys are found in the tropical rainforests of South America. These monkeys are around 2 lbs. and 12 inches tall. They eat a variety of fruits, seeds and insects.
