LUNA and CLIFF HAVING FUN!

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010
Luna and Cliff

Luna and Cliff

 

Meet Luna, our Bonnet Macaque and Cliff, a White Faced Capuchin. They have been raised together since tiny babies along with Diana, our adorable Tufted Capuchin. They love each other`s company. Luna just was introduced to solid food. While Cliff still drinks his bottle. He is such a baby! They spend hours each day playing with their bright colored toys and blankets.

We spend hours on a regular basis cleaning cages, toys, blankets, preparing food, bottle feeding, bathing and interacting with our babies. It is part of our daily routine at ZWF. We enjoy the special bond and interaction with our primates. Part of our volunteer program is to have that same interaction and enrichment for our primates. We strive to do the very best for our non-human family memebers at ZWF.

Mac Our Black Spider Monkey

Mac Our Black Spider Monkey

Mac is our new Black Spider Monkey. He is four months old and loves to stay clinging on to everything and everyone. He love attention and people at all times. A very demanding little fellow. We started introducing  solid foods, but we give him formula for most part. These New World primates are social and gather in groups of up to two or three dozen animals. At night, these groups split up into smaller sleeping parties of a half dozen or fewer. Foraging also occurs in smaller groups, and is usually most intense early in the day. Spider monkeys find food in the treetops and feast on nuts, fruits, leaves, bird eggs, and spiders. They can be noisy animals and often communicate with many calls, screeches, barks, and other sounds.

Typically, females give birth to only a single baby every two to five years. Young monkeys depend completely on their mothers for about ten weeks, but after that time they begin to explore on their own and play amongst themselves. Mothers continue to care for their young for the first year of their lives, and often move about with their offspring clinging to their backs. Feel free to visit his gallery for more pictures.

Shower Time For Luna

Luna Eating Her Banana

Luna Eating Her Banana

Luna is our female Bonnet Macaque. She is three in half month old. She loves her shower time and pacifier. We started her diet with banana for the very first time, with a bottle of formula milk every four hours and soon will start eating solid foods.

The Bonnet Macaque has a very wide range of gestures and behavior which can be easily differentiated.  They do a lot of “Lip smacking” is one of the most common behavior, where one individual may open and close the mouth in rapid movement with tongue in between teeth and lips pressing against each other giving an audible sound.

She is a cutie and we enjoy every minute of her company. You are welcome to check out Luna’s Album for more pictures of her different expressions.
