Bolivian Squirrel Monkeys swing into Zoodoo Zoo
by Brighton Council
In a Tassie first, Bolivian Squirrel Monkeys have arrived at Zoodoo Zoo. Brighton Mayor Leigh Gray welcomed the spritely primates, originally from Melbourne Zoo, at the official launch opening of their new habitat in June. Zoodoo’s newest residents Tito (aged 6), Carlos (9), Enzo (7) and Leo (6) will help the visitors gain an appreciation of these brightly colourful and intelligent monkeys – they can usually only be experienced by travelling to the mainland or overseas. The Squirrel Monkeys are an exciting addition to the Zoodoo family who are continuing their ongoing progression of the zoo’s new strategic plan to evolve into a conservation organisation.
