🐒❤️ Monkey See. Monkey Do.
- Monkeys are highly social and intelligent primates that use a combination of observation, imitation, demonstration, and social interaction to teach both their own offspring and other group members.
- Just witness the zoo’s almost two-year-old girls Ruthie and Janie following their elders’ moves: Libby (39 yr. old female), Sunday (46 yr. old female), and Hugo (13 yr. old male).

🇺🇸❤️ Thank you to our guests for spending this Beautiful Sunny Rainy Memorial Day at the El Paso Zoo!

🐒These two beautiful female Spider Monkeys were rescued from an animal trafficker during a routine traffic stop near Houston early 2025:
- was contacted and took custody of them.
- took over them and provided thorough care, including exams, lab work, and other necessary treatments. Thank you to both!
- The El Paso Zoo welcomed them on February 14, 2025.
