Lindsey, named after the callitrichids manager, AKA Mayor of Munchkinland, is one of the first 20 cotton-top tamarins to retire to Jungle Friends from a major primate research lab after it closed its doors.

Lindsey is usually a shy girl, and she tends to avoid people as much as possible. Only one thing changes that -- food! Lindsey is a champion eater who is always waiting right on top of her feeder for her food bowls, hoping that she’ll be able to snag all of the green beans before her companion shows up. She also enjoys exploring her outdoor habitat, where she often climbs so high she can be difficult to spot among the bamboo.
