Mac Enjoying Himself

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 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.

Swim with a buddy! In this case it was Titan our tiger!

We recently  put Titan in the pool for the first time, so that he can get used to swimming, and it was a very hot day here so it was a little treat for him to cool off! At first, Titan was a little cautious, and wanted nothing to do with the pool, but then as we got in and started splashing the water it really drew his attention over and he wanted to play with the water, after a little love and guidance, we gave him a little tug, and Titan was in the water! The minute he got in he LOVED it! Titan started swimming around, jumping off the steps so he can swim towards us, and at one point he even went to the deeper side with me, while he was swimming right behind me. We were so proud of Titan. Now that Titan is used to the water, we will be doing this on a usual basis. It’s great exercise too!
