Meet The Monkeys

Group A - Ape's Family

Ape, a male white-naped mangabey, is one of the longest residents at the Centre. He lives with Accra, who came from Barcelona Zoo, and their daughter Maya. Yellow also lives in this group; he was confiscated from a farm and is beginning to take on the role of alpha male as Ape grows older.
