Primates
of the Caribbean Gardens
This
island houses two black
and white colobus monkeys. They like to be high in the trees and their
black and white hair can frequently be seen swaying in the treetops from
the mainland. Perched atop one of the electrically heated domes, this
colobus is watching the keeper approach via canoe to deliver fresh fruits
and vegetables. Colobus monkeys in East Africa are currently threatened
by automobiles. Learn more here.
