Monkey Monday, Easter edition 🐣🐒
For many primates, every day is a scavenger hunt. In sanctuary environments, enrichment like browse, puzzle feeders, and hidden treats helps mimic natural foraging behaviors. 💚

You asked about #PunchTheMonkey and Japanese macaque enclosures, so let’s break down how snow monkeys live in the wild—and how zoos and sanctuaries can mirror those rocky, mountainous habitats.

Some lemurs have a built-in grooming tool called a toothcomb—a row of teeth they use to comb their fur and remove parasites. Even cooler? Plant compounds from leaves they chew can create a natural antimicrobial coating on the toothcomb.
No toothbrush needed. Evolution nailed it. 🌿🦷

Groundhog Day predicts seasons with shadows. Rhesus macaques use real environmental cues—daylight, temperature, and food availability—to time behavior and survival.
Who would you trust? 🐵

Japanese macaques are the most northern-living nonhuman primates. Their thick fur, social behavior, and use of natural hot springs help them survive harsh winters—something Ohio can relate to right now 😅

This holiday season, we’re grateful for our incredible community who helps make a safer, brighter future possible for primates in need. Your compassion and support are the greatest gifts we could ask for. Wishing you warmth, joy, and a little extra monkey magic today. ❤️🐒
🐒🌍 National Monkey Day 🌍🐒
Monkeys from around the world remind us that protecting primates means protecting our planet. Every species plays a role in healthy ecosystems—and their future is deeply connected to ours.

🐒 #MonkeyMonday: Meet the Caquetá titi, one of the world’s most obscure primates! Discovered in 2010, these tiny monkeys are known for their fluffy coats and tail-twining pairs. With fewer than 250 left, they’re critically endangered — awareness helps protect species like this. 💚
#FTLOP
Happy #MonkeyMonday! 🐒 Today we’re highlighting Howler monkeys—about 15 species from Central and South America. Their enlarged hyoid bone gives them their famous calls! 📢 Mostly eating leaves and fruit, some species now face threats from habitat loss and wildlife trade. 🌿🛑

A pet monkey loose in a Spirit Halloween store might sound funny — but it’s actually a serious reminder why monkeys don’t belong in homes. 🐒💚 Help us create a safer future for primates in need. #FounderFriday #ForTheLoveOfPrimates
Happy #MonkeyMonday! 🐒 Meet the Javan surili, a small gray leaf monkey from western Java 🇮🇩. Listed as Vulnerable, fewer than 10,000 remain due to habitat loss. 🍃 Sanctuaries like #FTLOP work to protect and raise awareness for primates like this one. 🛑🌿 #conservation
Happy #MonkeyMonday! 🐒 Meet the Olive baboon — the most wide-ranging baboon species in Africa. 🌍 Named for its olive-colored fur 🫒, it thrives in grasslands, forests, and even deserts! 🌿 Omnivorous and adaptable, it’s listed as Least Concern but faces risks from habitat loss and human conflict.
