At Moody Gardens, we don't monkey around. But, we have some residents of the rainforest who do. White-faced Saki monkeys will be roaming the tree tops of the rainforest along with many other fascinating creatures when the Rainforest Pyramid opens May 28th. Visit our blog at http://blog.moodygardens.com/ to learn more about them!
I once worked at the local zoo for 2 weeks. One of my tasks was to clean the Saki-enclosure. At this time the couple had a male cub.
This cub used to stand up on his hindlegs, look at me, to sway and then he would pipe.
I guess he tried to impress me :)
As far as I know, he was named after me.
