Folly Farm, Begelly, is celebrating the new arrival of their Capuchin monkeys. The Capuchin monkey is the most common monkey found in the Amazon Rainforest. They have a lifespan of 45 years and when fully grown weigh up to 4.8kg and can grow to about 100cm in length. Zookeeper Sara Millband said: "This is the first time I have has the opportunity to work with Capuchin monkeys and I am very excited about it." The three Capuchin monkeys arrived from Manor House, St. Florence, on Good Friday. Zoo manager Tim Morphew has named them Aubrey, Tony and Willy. The monkeys are thought to be aged between seven and 11-years-old. They have slowly settled into the new monkey enclosure, centered in the middle of Folly Farm's zoo. They were very nervous at first; this is mainly because they had not moved before, but seem to be gaining confidence now. Zookeeper Sara continued: "I have begun to notice differences in their personalities and a growth in their confidence. Willy has already started feeding from my hand, which was a big breakthrough. Hopefully in time, and with a lot of patience, I will be able to hand feed all three." Because the Capuchin monkey has a high reproductive potential and habitat flexibility, hunting and habitat destruction have not devasted populations as severely as they have other species of primates. "However, it is not all good for these monkeys as they are still commonly taken from the wild as infants and sold into illegal pet trade and then, unfortunately, they get discarded by their owners when they reach sexual maturity as they can then become aggressive and unpredictable." Capuchin monkeys have a prehensile tail that can be used as an extra limb. The tail is mainly used during feeding or foraging, but also serves as a brake while descending from the trees. The Capuchin monkey exhibits an advanced behaviour and at Folly Farm they would like to keep this so they have introduced some enrichment activities to the group. The keepers are constantly thinking of new toys to make the Capuchins' life more interesting and to keep their brain active. They have made toys for them using wood, plastic and rope - materials that are unlikely to harm them. You can see the Capuchin monkeys in Folly Farm's new monkey enclosure. They love the public's attention and are always hanging in the window.
