When it comes to our two confiscated spider monkey infants, Finn and Marceline, we have learned a lot about this species’ behavior when it comes to introducing them to the rest of the troop members. From sweet monkey embraces to avoiding small squabbles, here’s what we’ve discovered so far.

You may spot two little black-handed spider monkey infants exploring our sky tunnels and habitats in our Rainforest Revealed loop! In January, we shared that our Zoo would be home for two spider monkey infants. Our animal care team has started the careful process of introducing 8-month-old Finn and 5-month-old Marceline to the rest of our spider monkey troop.
