Larry

  • Species: Common Squirrel Monkeys (Saimiri scuireus)
  • Gender: Male
  • Birthday: August 31, 2011
  • Arrival: November 14, 2018
  • Background: Research
  • Character: Supportive

Larry came to Jungle Friends after being retired from nicotine studies with 25 other squirrel monkeys. CNN reported their arrival with praise for all those who helped make history - this troop is the first to be retired from the FDA. 

Larry distinguishes himself in a supportive role as Haz’s right-hand-man. When Haz puts on a show and tosses his food about, Larry always lets him know he thought it was funny anyway. Where Haz’s humor is more caustic, Larry’s is more good natured and tries to seem apologetic for Haz's roudiness.
