In celebration of World Monkey Day, our Animal Care Team share some interesting facts about their favourite monkey species and explain the importance of conservation projects worldwide 🐒 | Colchester Zoo

🐒 Happy World Monkey Day! Today we celebrate these incredible animals and highlight the challenges monkeys face in the wild, from habitat loss and hunting to the pressures of the pet trade. Monkeys play a vital role in their ecosystems, helping to disperse seeds, maintain forest health, and support biodiversity. Monkeys are fascinating, diverse, and essential: some species help regenerate forests by spreading seeds miles from the parent tree, while others maintain insect populations and nutrien

Happy Monkey Day! 🐒🎉 To celebrate, our macaques enjoyed some special jammy treats with a side of veg! We love giving them enrichment that keeps their minds active and their taste buds happy. 🍓💛 #MonkeyDay #Macaques #AnimalEnrichment #JimmysFarmAndWildlifePark | Jimmy's Farm & Wildlife Park
