Southwick’s Zoo is thrilled to announce the arrival of its newest residents – a lively troupe of spider monkeys! Visitors are invited to come and meet these fascinating primates, who are now swinging into action in their new habitat at the zoo.
Native to the rainforests of South America, Brown-Headed Spider Monkeys are renowned for their agility, long limbs, and prehensile tails, which they adeptly use to navigate their forest habitat. These highly social primates play a crucial role in ecosystem balance through seed dispersal and forest regeneration.
Guests can now explore the newly designed habitat tailored to the monkeys’ needs, providing ample space for climbing, swinging, and exploration, ensuring their well-being and natural behaviors are supported. Visitors will be captivated by the monkeys’ acrobatic displays and social interactions.
