Rosa arrived at Jungle Friends in April of 2015 along with 32 other cotton-top tamarins after the lab where they’d previously lived closed its doors. Rosa was one of the shier monkeys in that group, but she eventually took to her new home. She can often be found racing her partner up and down their runway, where she also enjoys checking out the neighbors. She will come inside if she thinks there’s a treat waiting for her- bananas and grapes are her favorites!
