Lowe’s Monkey: The Curious Forest Acrobat

The Lowe’s monkey, also known as the mona monkey, is a vibrant and inquisitive primate native to the forests of West Africa. With its expressive face, sleek fur, and boundless energy, this monkey never fails to entertain visitors.

In the zoo, these monkeys are housed in multi-level enclosures with plenty of climbing opportunities. The space mirrors their natural forested habitat, complete with ropes, tree branches, and artificial canopies. Their diet is a mix of fruits, seeds, insects, and vegetables, carefully designed to match their natural preferences.

Lowe’s monkeys are highly social animals, living in groups that often communicate through a variety of vocalizations and gestures. Zoo visitors can witness these playful interactions, especially during feeding times or when keepers introduce enrichment items like treat-filled toys. These activities are crucial for stimulating their intelligent minds and mimicking the challenges they face in the wild.
