Earl was four years old when he arrived at Jungle Friends on November 21, 2007 along with three other squirrel monkeys named Joey, Michael and Ringo. These boys were bred and sold into research for cocaine studies; fortunately, the study was cancelled before they were 'used' and they narrowly escaped being sold to another laboratory!
You will never find Earl and Joey too far away from each other; they even sit together arm in arm at mealtime. Earl watches Joey's every move, and follows him around. Both boys are very interested in the other squirrel monkeys and chatter to their new friends throughout the day. We are hoping that Earl and Joey will befriend Simon, another young squirrel monkey here who would love to have new playmates his own age.
