The
goal of our adoption program is to provide an opportunity
for contributors to familiarize themselves with the monkeys
on an individual level. Your support enables us to better
care for adopted monkeys, further develop our community education
and behavioral research programs, and improve our facilities
thereby making it possible to extend sanctuary to more primates
in need. In return you can learn about the Conservancy's non-human
inhabitants and feel a sense of personal responsibility for
their care.
When you adopt, you will receive: a color photo of your selected
monkey, and a subscription to our newsletter.
For adoptions over the one hundred dollar level you will also
receive a guided tour of Monkey Jungle and the DuMond Conservancy
with a primatologist.

Night monkey
The night Monkey, also known as the Owl Monkey and Dourocouli,
are distributed throught South America and in to Central America.
Among other aspects, the Night Monkey is unique in being
the only nocturnal monkey in the world. It is also one of
only a few primate species which is strictly monogamous. Interestingly,
in this relationship, it is the father which will carry the
infant around for up to six months.
They have a beautiful pattern of colors on their faces, as
well as brightly orange covered chest found in about half
of the species.

Squirrel monkey
Squirrel
monkeys ( Saimiri boliviensis peruviensis )
live in the tropical rainforests, mangrove forests, swamps,
river forests and dry forests of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia,
Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela,
and here in South Florida. Here at the Conservancy there are
over 100.
They eat fruit, insects, nuts, berries, nectar, leaves,
and sometimes small vertebrates such as tree frogs. In nature,
squirrel monkeys sometimes follow capuchin monkeys to food
sites. The same is true here where they live with a troop
of capuchins on a 3 acre preserve.
