Monkey Jungle
Monkey Jungle was an innovator of many of the concepts currently seen in the design of zoological parks. It is home to nearly 400 primates, most running free on a 30 acre reserve…and one of the few protected habitats for endangered primates in the United States.

Visitors are immediately welcome by the Java monkey troop, now numbering in the 80’s. These Java monkeys forage through the jungle eating natural foods. Witnessing this process is a highlight of the park, especially watching these skilled divers collecting crabs and other shellfish along the riverbanks and mangrove swamps. Scheduled feedings help show off these water skills as the animals dive into a pool to receive fruit from the guides.

As part of the park’s continuing effort to promote the understanding of primates, Monkey Jungle also introduces audiences to the lifestyle of the orangutan. Always unpredictable, these lovable apes are always full of impromptu responses.

A total of 30 species of primates are represented in the park, including gibbons, guenons, spider monkeys, colobus and the Golden Lion Tamarin – a native to the Brazilian jungle that remains threatened with extinction. Monkey Jungle is participating in an international effort to save the tiny creature .
