Leila’s Christmas Photo!

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Here is Leila our Squirrel Monkey, ready for Christmas! Leila hangs out with “G” the baby White Handed Gibbon and they play all day. Squirrel Monkeys are some of the most commonly seen monkeys in the Central American rainforest’s, even though they are very shy and skiddish. They average about 1 foot in length, with the their tails adding on another full foot. Squirrel monkeys weigh 1.5-2.5 lbs, and are diurnal, or active during the daytime. To view more photos of Leila, then visit Leila’s Gallery.

G and Leila!

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

G is a White-Handed Gibbon and Leila is a Squirrel Monkey! They get daily interaction and playtime. They have became best buddies and are very intelligent. Leila is more noisy and she will let you know when she doesn’t like something with a loud screech. G is very mellow and really enjoys swinging around! You can view more photos of Leila in Leila’s Gallery. If you would like to see more photos of G then visit G’s Gallery!

Gibbons Playing at ZWF!

Here is a very cute video clip of a few White-Handed Gibbons playing and swinging around at our facility! Click the link here to view the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fDtgcNtjz0

White-handed gibbons brachiate, or swing by the arms, from branch to branch horizontally and vertically. Their long, strong arms enable them to quickly change direction in flight and to catch a handhold if they fall.

To visit our Gibbons in person then come by for a private tour! Check out our tour page for more info on our packages!
