Squirrel Monkeys

Apenheul in the Netherlands is a animal park where the monkeys roam free and the visitors are restricted to paths. They used to allow visitors to take part in scheduled feedings, but they no longer allow animal/ human contact. The squirrel monkeys didn't get the memo.

The pencil sketches are of squirrel monkeys that live at the Nuremberg Zoo in Germany. They have their own outdoor island with 24 hour access; they reach it by a rope that goes over the visitor path.




Feeding squirrel monkeys is so fun; they're soft and light. It's definitely worth holding wriggling meal worms to do.
