Editor’s note: We are reflecting on our 12 most impactful moments of 2025. Your support made these incredible stories of rescue, recovery and wonder at your Zoo possible. Thank you. […]

This Giving Tuesday, we are highlighting our important work with black-handed spider monkeys. Our spider monkey habitat opened in 2020 and later that year our Zoo became a place where rescued spider monkeys can get a second chance at life.  

Our entire Zoo family is devastated by this loss. At his young age, Daisy’s infant had already made such a big impact on our staff, volunteers and visitors. His animal care team will remember him for his adorable antics and growing independence.

We’re happy to announce a new birth at our Zoo: a baby black-handed spider monkey!
