Why Are There Baby Monkeys at a Sanctuary?The babies at Jungle Friends are the result of a Monkey Rescue on October 1, 2010. The babies are Monkers, Zumie, Mochi, Michelle's little baby born on April 11, 2011, and now Elizabeth's baby, born July 1, 2011. As a sanctuary, Jungle Friends has a no-breeding policy. So, it was quite a surprise to find expectant mothers turning up! We accepted a group of monkeys from Texas and it is now obvious that a vasectomy failed. The situation has been remedied.

Jungle Friends staff stepped in to bottle feed the baby and care for his physical needs...and little Monkers stepped up to provide monkey nurturing. Monkers has appointed herself as his new little mom - carrying him, grooming and playing with him. Monkers has turned into a great mama monkey, making sure he gets plenty to eat. He even has a little belly on him now!  Baby Monkeys in "The Big Pool"
