Topic: Bolivian Gray Titi Monkeys – Primate Co-Existence And Biodiversity On The Planet

Staten Island Zoo professionals: Lindsay Harney, Tropical Forest 1 Lead Keeper, and Victoria DeLuccia, Ambassador Animal Keeper have been conducting an observational study on the Bolivian Gray Titi- Monkeys for the past year. Their ongoing research takes a deep dive into the world of family relationships and the social ties to one another. Additionally they have been able to identify unique exhibiting behaviors amongst our exhibit population. While many questions are still left to uncover, our zoo professionals provide education and public outreach opportunities to better inform our guests of the incredible work they do to provide a better future for our ambassador animals and their wild counterparts.
